You should do a little background research, IMHO, so that you understand what daemonizing is. http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+daemonize+a+process Once you understand that, you can pretty easily write a little Ruby code to do a passable job yourself. There's not much to it. Or, you can use someone else's project to do it: gem search -r daemon Take a look at some of those.
