MAN PAGES: DAEMON COMMAND
A daemon runs in the background and supervises the system.
Modern daemons follow a simpler yet powerful scheme
(here called “new-style” daemons)
This makes it easier to control.
all new-style daemons communicate via listening.
daemons are automatically activated
to start-up and maintain the daemon, use the directive
it is possible to bind activation to events.
This provides for nicer abstraction and gives administrators the option to enable controlling/manipulating.
simpler or better daemons shall be bound.
Make sure to set a good human-readable description
Do not disable, unless you really know what you do.
If not already implemented, add an optional command
to disable daemonization.

Good to know that “an optional command/ to disable daemonization” is available.
haunting how the manual is almost like a science fiction alternate reality that’s comparable to our own
I really liked this one, Katerina!
