+Daemons provides an easy way to wrap existing ruby scripts (for example a
+self-written server) to be run as a daemon and to be controlled by simple
+start/stop/restart commands. You can also call blocks as daemons and control
+them from the parent or just daemonize the current process. Besides this basic
+functionality, daemons offers many advanced features like exception
+backtracing and logging (in case your ruby script crashes) and monitoring and
+automatic restarting of your processes if they crash.
