daemonize

Run a command (that does not daemonize itself) as a Unix daemon.

• 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}
