→Doh, use screen!
Line 109:
::: doing things by hand is like starting a car with empty batteries. you push it until the motor can be started. this task is about including the batteries. you start the program and it does everything by itself. no extra scripting required.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 03:38, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
:::: I'm afraid you and the unsigned guy are above grasping at straws here to make a point. Pardon me, I'm only describing the simplest possible way of doing it. A half-liner while loop to restart a program is hardly comparable to pushing a car, and such a little script can in fact be part of the application (an included battery). (Never seen Unix programs that are actually launched by shell scripts that are installed by the application installer?)[[Special:Contributions/24.85.131.247|24.85.131.247]] 04:48, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
::::: For the record (and off topic): there was no "unsigned guy" here except for anon IPs. It's probably unfair to break up someone else's comment in halves and then blame the first half for lacking a signature. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 05:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
: personally i use screen actively, and if i start a daemon inside screen i exactly do not want it to clutter up my screen terminals, but get out of the way.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 06:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
:: This is not about cluttering your interactive screen sessions with daemons, but screen as a dedicated tool for having daemons running. Like under a different user ID from your account, etc! To interact with the daemons, you might "su" to a different account and attach a different screen session. Such screen sessions can be arranged to start at boot time with daemons in them.
