daemonize - make a prog a daemon
daemonize /path/to/prog [args]
daemonizep /path/to/prog [args]
Make a prog, shell- or other
script a daemon. The new daemon will be a session leader with umask of
027, "/" as directory and standard file descriptors closed.
daemonizep differs from daemonize by printing the PID of the daemonized
prog.
To avoid unnecessary library dependencies the binary was created with dietlibc
(or nasm on daemonize and i386 arch).
The return value is 1
if forking failed otherwise 0.
daemonize /tmp/loadlogger.py
Only
the standard file descriptors for stdin, stdout and stderrr (0,1,2) are
closed.
