Daemonize is a Ruby module derived from Perl's Proc:: Daemon module. It allows you to easily modify any existing Ruby program to run as a daemon. Converting a program to a daemon by hand is a relatively simple process; however, this module will save you the effort of repeatedly looking up the procedure, and it will also ensure that your programs are daemonized in the safest and most correct fashion possible.
