DAEMOND(8)

NAME
daemond - call the daemond routine

SYNOPSIS
daemond [-cfh] command [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION
The daemond command runs some other command as a daemon, by calling the daemon(3) routine and then invoking the command. The arguments, other than -h, correspond to the arguments to daemon(3).

-f  Normally, daemond closes file descriptors 0, 1, and 2, and redirects them to /dev/null. If -f is specified, the file descriptors are left alone.

-c  By default, daemond changes the current directory to / before invoking the command. Specifying -c prevents this.

-h  Display usage information

SEE ALSO
daemon(3)
