daemonize is a command-line utility that runs a command as a Unix daemon. See the accompanying man page for full details.
Normal installation:
$ sh configure $ make $ su # make install For a detailed report of the available configure options:
$ sh configure --help I have personally compiled and tested daemonize on the following platforms:
- FreeBSD 4.x and 8.0-RELEASE
- Mandrake Linux 8.1
- Red Hat Linux 6.2
- Red Hat Linux 8.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 / CentOS 4
- Solaris (SunOS 5.8)
- Fedora Core 5
- Ubuntu 8 and 9
- Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
The accompanying "configure" script was generated with GNU autoconf version 2.1.3. It should work, as is, for most Unix systems.
