ruby on rails - Daemoninsing a rake task

Question

I have a rake task which runs mailman under the rails environment.

I'd like to ensure that rake task is always running via a daemon.

My rake task is rake incoming_mail

How would I go about daemonising that?

Answer 1

In linux in order to run a process in background, you can add & to the end of command. So

rake incoming_mail &

should probably do the jobs for you.
