daemonize

Run a command (that does not daemonize itself) as a Unix daemon. More information: https://software.clapper.org/daemonize/.

• Run a command as a daemon:

daemonize command command_arguments

• Write the PID to the specified file:

daemonize -p path/to/pidfile command command_arguments

• Use a lock file to ensure that only one instance runs at a time:

daemonize -l path/to/lockfile command command_arguments

• Use the specified user account:

sudo daemonize -u user command command_arguments
