Further analysis of the maintenance status of daemon based on released npm versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.

An important project maintenance signal to consider for daemon is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to npm in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.

In the past month we didn't find any pull request activity or change in issues status has been detected for the GitHub repository.

Readme

daemon

Turn a node script into a daemon.

install via npm

npm install daemon

Requires node >= 0.8

examples

// this code is run twice
// see implementation notes below
console.log(process.pid);

// after this point, we are a daemon
require('daemon')();

// different pid because we are now forked
// original parent has exited
console.log(process.pid);

api

daemon()

Respawn the process (self) as a daemon. The parent process will exit at the point of this call.

daemon.daemon(script, args, opt)

Spawn the script with given args array as a daemonized process. Return the child process object.

opt can optionally contain the following arguments:

stdout (file descriptor for stdout of the daemon)
stderr (file descriptor for stderr of the daemon)
env (environment for the daemon) (default: process.env)
cwd (current working directory for daemonized script) (default: process.cwd)

implementation notes

Daemon actually re-spawns the current application and runs it again. The only difference between the original and the fork is that the original will not execute past the daemon() call whereas the fork will.

node versions prior to 0.8

Using this module on older versions of node (or older versions of this module) are not recommended due to how node works internally and the issues it can cause for daemons.
