|Package: daemon
|Version: 0.6.3-1
|Description: turns other processes into daemons
| There are many tasks that need to be performed to correctly set up a
| daemon process. This can be tedious. Daemon performs these tasks for
| other processes. This is useful for writing daemons in languages other
| than C, C++ or Perl (e.g. /bin/sh, Java).
| .
| If you want to write daemons in languages that can link against C functions
| (e.g. C, C++), see libslack which contains the core functionality of daemon.
| .
| Upstream URL: http://www.libslack.org/daemon/
Can daemonize do things that daemon cannot?
