Description Robert S 2005-05-01 02:36:23 UTC

Daemon is a simple useful utility which converts programs into daemons.  It is part of Debian.  I use it to run clamd in "supervised" mode so that it can be restarted if it dies.  It also provides a convenient way of shutting down processes.  I've tested it on x86 and amd64.

This is my first ebuild so please forgive any bloopers.

any reason for this over start-stop-daemon?

Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev

2005-05-01 10:03:47 UTC

start-stop-daemon will daemonize processes, but it wont supervise them

daemontools does both of those though

Comment 4 Vlastimil Holer 2005-09-20 07:00:34 UTC

Because daemon can run services under different user.

No progress upstream since 2004. 

WONTFIX, use sys-process/daemontools

sys-process/daemon/daemon-0.6.3.ebuild

this is my effort providing a working ebuild.

even if the software features very bad programming practices, this is the best we could get out of it.
a guy on #-bugs reported many errors on amd64, so KEYWORDS=-amd64 unless someone has time to fix it
