Crate daemonizer

daemonize is a library for writing system daemons. Inspired by the Python library thesharp/daemonize.

The respository is located at https://github.com/jan-schreib/daemonizer/.

Usage example:

#[macro_use] extern crate log;
extern crate daemonizer;

use daemonizer::{Daemonize};

fn main() {
    let daemonize = Daemonize::new()
        .pid_file("/tmp/test.pid") // Every method except `new` and `start`
        .chown_pid_file(true)      // is optional, see `Daemonize` documentation
        .working_directory("/tmp") // for default behaviour.
        .user("nobody")
        .group("daemon") // Group name
        .group(2)        // or group id.
        .umask(0o777)    // Set umask, `0o027` by default.
        .privileged_action(|| "Executed before drop privileges");

    match daemonize.start() {
        Ok(_) => info!("Success, daemonized"),
        Err(e) => error!("{}", e),
    }
}
