daemonize [![Build Status](https://github.com/knsd/daemonize/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/knsd/daemonize/actions/workflows/rust.yml/) [![Latest Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/daemonize.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/daemonize/) [![docs](https://docs.rs/daemonize/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/daemonize)
=========
daemonize is a library for writing system daemons. Inspired by the Python library [thesharp/daemonize](https://github.com/thesharp/daemonize).
Usage example:
```rust
extern crate daemonize;
use std::fs::File;
use daemonize::Daemonize;
fn main() {
let stdout = File::create("/tmp/daemon.out").unwrap();
let stderr = File::create("/tmp/daemon.err").unwrap();
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.
.stdout(stdout) // Redirect stdout to `/tmp/daemon.out`.
.stderr(stderr) // Redirect stderr to `/tmp/daemon.err`.
.privileged_action(|| "Executed before drop privileges");
match daemonize.start() {
Ok(_) => println!("Success, daemonized"),
Err(e) => eprintln!("Error, {}", e),
}
}
```
