Daemonize allows you to run a command as a Unix daemon. See man page for usage after installation. Builds from hosted snapshot of git repo. See home page from daemonize.info for latest version information. To build a later version if available, clone it with: git clone git://github.com/bmc/daemonize.git Then read the CHANGES.md file to find the release version. Change the directory name from daemonize to daemonize-x.y.z and create a daemonize-x.y.z.tar.gz file from that folder. You may then build with: VERSION=x.y.z ./daemonize.SlackBuild
