The daemon Portfile 46415 2009-02-04 16:22:23Z stechert macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: daemon
Version: 0.6.3
Category: sysutils
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: nomaintainer
Description: Daemon turns other process into daemons
Long Description: Daemon turns other process 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).

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/daemon
%  sudo port install daemon  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching daemon
--->  Verifying checksum for daemon
--->  Extracting daemon
--->  Configuring daemon
--->  Building daemon with target all

--->  Staging daemon into destroot

--->  Installing daemon

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using daemon with these commands:

%  man daemon
%  apropos daemon
%  which daemon
%  locate daemon
