[MTOS-dev] Daemonizing a process?

I want to correct myself ­ the Rebuild Queue UI was technically in the trunk
for the Rebuild Queue plguin and not a fork or branch. That was a
mischaracterization on my part. However as the person responsible for
creating the RQ builds and packages ­ I never remember assembling or
distributing this feature personally ­ which must be why I don¹t recollect
ever seeing it personally.

Be that as it may ­ it is something we plan on making core in the not too
distant future.
