Transform any class in a \*nix daemon process or cron job without changes or refactoring.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Allow you to do the following without change your pre-existing class:

- Create a \*nix daemon process from any PHP class
- Enable call any get RESt endpoint from the shell script
- Enable call any public method from the shell script

How To:
-------

[](#how-to)

- [Call a PHP method from command line](docs/script.md)
- [Install a PHP class/method call as a daemon](docs/install.md)
- [Call a GET RESt endpoint from command line](docs/endpoint.md)
- [Show the method documentation](docs/showdocs.md)
- [Environment variables](docs/environment.md)
- [Play with the service](docs/play.md)

Install
-------

[](#install)

Daemonize does not need to be associated to your PHP project.

Install locally (preferable):

```
composer require "byjg/php-daemonize"
```

Install as a global composer package:

```
composer global require "byjg/php-daemonize"
sudo ln -s /root/.composer/vendor/bin/daemonize /usr/local/bin/daemonize

# If you want to share this installation with another users consider use the command `chmod a+x /root`.
# The root directory will remain unreadable for them, but you'll can execute the script "daemonize".
```
