NAME

ubic_daemon - daemonize any binary

VERSION

version 1.60

SYNOPSIS

    ubic-daemon --name=sleep 'sleep 1000'
    ubic-daemon --stop --name=sleep
    ubic-daemon --list

DECSRIPTION

This program can be used to start any binary in the background.

Note that it doesn't create the proper service: binary won't be monitored by the watchdog and it won't be started on the system reboot. In other words, you usually will want to write the service config instead of using this program.

SEE ALSO

Ubic::Daemon

There is a similar program named start-stop-daemon in Debian and some other Linux distributions which does daemonization and have some other powerful features.
