The class is focussed entirely on creating &amp; spawning standalone daemons, and for example includes: 1. Methods to generate OS-specific startup-files (init.d) (currently only Debian/Ubuntu are supported), so that your application gets started on reboot as well. 2. Methods for logging purposes, also support for PEAR's Log package 3. Simple syntax 5. Can run with or without PEAR (PEAR adds more elegance &amp; functionality, no-PEAR offers functionality like including system_daemon with svn:externals and reduced dependencies) 6. Default signal handlers, but optionally reroute signals to your own handlers. 7. Set options like max RAM usage Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package/System_Daemon Changelog: http://pear.php.net/package/System_Daemon/download/0.5.0 Download: http://download.pear.php.net/package/System_Daemon-0.5.0.tgz Authors ------- Kevin van Zonneveld <kevin@vanzonneveld.net> (lead)
