Screen makes an obsolete practice of in-the-app daemonization.[[Special:Contributions/24.85.131.247|24.85.131.247]] 03:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
: i have found screen seems to be popular among the lisp community probably in order to keep access to the repl, but i don't like it. the thing that screen does not do is restart your daemon if it disappears.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 06:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

::: sure, anything can be done by hand. but the job of a sysadmin is to automate things. if i am going to write a script, i might as well write a real init script. but then i don't need screen anymore.
::: 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)
: 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)
