daemonizejs

Daemonize is a tool that takes a method and returns a function with a daemon like interface (start, stop, restart).

Usage

var testFun = function () {
	// Do something
};

var daemon = $.daemonize(testFun, 1000);

daemon.start(); // will run the testFun every second.
daemon.stop(); // will stop the testFun from running.
daemon.restart(); // will stop, then start the function.

You can also specify a function that runs on the restart invocation once the daemon stops.

var reinit = function () {
	// Clean up
};

var daemon2 = $.daemonize(testFun, 1000, reinit);

daemon2.start();
daemon2.restart(); // stops testFun, runs reinit, then starts testFun again
