NAME
ubic_daemon - daemonize any binary
VERSION
version 1.37_01
SYNOPSIS
ubic-daemon --name=sleep 'sleep 1000'
ubic-daemon --stop --name=sleep
ubic-daemon --listDECSRIPTION
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
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.
