How is a daemon created?
In a Unix environment, the parent process of a daemon is often, but not always, the init process. A daemon is usually created either by a process forking a child process and then immediately exiting, thus causing init to adopt the child process, or by the init process directly launching the daemon.
How are daemons and processes related?
A daemon process is a background process that is not under the direct control of the user. Usually the parent process of the daemon process is the init process. This is because the init process usually adopts the daemon process after the parent process forks the daemon process and terminates.

You have to redirect the output, otherwise it will not run as a true daemon (it will depend on your shell to read and write output). A Daemon is just program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user… [The below bash code is for Debian systems – Ubuntu, Linux Mint distros and so on]
Why is probe not used in fish shell?
I’m noticing that in the probe command, the -e flag is used, which the docs describe as “Execute the specified command without using the default Linux shell.” However in the launch command, that flag is not used. Note the orphaned server processes and the high CPU usage.
How can I see if my daemon is running?
Now when you boot up your system, you can see the log file stating that your Daemon is running: • Now you may start/stop/restart/get the status of your Daemon via: You can go to /etc/init.d/ – you will see a daemon template called skeleton. You can duplicate it and then enter your script under the start function.
Why do we need to know the default shell is?
The recommended way to change the default shell is by using chsh. See https://blog.evalcode.com/zsh-default-wsl-windows-10/ We need to run the server without -e otherwise we don’t know what the default shell is… I agree that chsh is the right way to do it, but unfortunately it causes this issue.
