1.9 Process.daemon Detach the process from controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemon. Unless the argument nochdir is true, it changes the current working directory to /. Unless the argument noclose is true, daemon() will redirect standard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null. Return zero on success, or raise one of Errno::*.
