The daemon helper, dh is its name
in [Perl]

From: John Kelly on 30 Jun 2010 22:26 The daemon helper, dh is its name. It's a small C program that starts any program or shell command as a daemon, then gets out of the way. Yes I know there are various others. But this is one I wrote, and I gave it an Apache license. If you don't like the name "dh" for whatever reason, you can patch the Makefile and source to give it whatever name you like. Perhaps "dprime" (daemon primer), or "dp" for a short name. ftp://ftp.beewyz.com/users/jar/etcetera/computer/programming/project/dh/ Yes I know you can fork,setsid,exec in Perl too. But the daemon helper covers some bases you might not think of, when throwing your Perl script together. And a tool that already does the job for you, saves time. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php

Maybe because it is "news", as in Network News Transfer Protocol? :-) -- Tad McClellan email: perl -le "print scalar reverse qq/moc.liamg\100cm.j.dat/" The above message is a Usenet post.

Because it can start a Perl script as a daemon, without any need to fork,setsid,exec in your perl script. I use it myself, to start Perl scripts as never ending daemons. Not every post must answer a question. People like to read news too, though I understand why control freaks hate news, as it threatens their territorial domain. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php
