Synopsis

dummydaemon [-f]

dummydaemon -h

Description

The dummydaemon is exactly what it sounds like - it's an application that acts like a daemon (does a fork and exec) unless it is requested to run in the foreground. It does nothing further - it just sleeps. This is useful for testing rcstaggerd to make certain that it tracks and manipulates services properly.

Arguments

Argument Flag Long Option Description
-f --foreground Runs the daemon in the foreground
-h --help Prints help and exits

Examples
