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}}
