daemonize: command not found

by Deepika

daemonize is a utility that allows you to run a command as a Unix daemon, which is a background process that is detached from the terminal and runs independently of the user’s session. It is useful for running long-running tasks or services that need to run continuously in the background.

To use daemonize, you will need to specify the command that you want to run as a daemon, as well as any necessary options or arguments. For example:

# daemonize command command_arguments

This will start the command as a daemon process. daemonize will fork the process and then exit, leaving the daemon process running in the background.

If you encounter the below error while running the command daemonize:

daemonize: command not found

you may try installing the below package as per your choice of distribution:

Distribution Command
Debian apt-get install daemonize
Ubuntu apt-get install daemonize
Kali Linux apt-get install daemonize
Fedora dnf install daemonize
OS X brew install daemonize
Raspbian apt-get install daemonize

daemonize Command Examples

1. Run a command as a daemon:

# daemonize command command_arguments

2. Write the PID to the specified file:

# daemonize -p path/to/pidfile command command_arguments

3. Use a lock file to ensure that only one instance runs at a time:

# daemonize -l path/to/lockfile command command_arguments

4. Use the specified user account:

# sudo daemonize -u user command command_arguments
