>Description:

New port: sysutils/daemon - turns other processes into daemons

Daemon turns other processes into daemons. There are many tasks that need to
be performed to correctly set up a daemon process. This can be tedious.
Daemon performs these tasks for other processes. This is useful for writing
daemons in languages other than C, C++ or Perl (e.g. /bin/sh, Java).

So... how is this better than daemon(8) ?
- supports a setuid/setgid
- revokes any suid or sigd priviliges to reduce security risk
- prevents the generation of core file (optional)
- supports for chroot environment
- allow respawn the client process when it terminates
- supports for pidfile and lock files
- output of client stderr/stdout can be redirected to syslog or file
- supports restart/stop/running command line options
- supports configuration file to define default options
- other impovements see daemon(1)
