Utility to run a process in the background and attach to it

## Usage

```

npx deemon COMMAND [ARGS]

```

## Example 

[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/oinexj5mqxxqhMieBbUW5WuXV.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/oinexj5mqxxqhMieBbUW5WuXV)

```

npx deemon /bin/bash -c "while true; do date; sleep 1; done"

```

Ctrl C will stop the current session and leave the process running in the background. Simply run the same command again to attach to it:

```

npx deemon /bin/bash -c "while true; do date; sleep 1; done"

```

Ctrl D will stop the current session and the background process. You can also simply kill the background process with the  `--kill` flag:

```

npx deemon --kill /bin/bash -c "while true; do date; sleep 1; done"

```

Or you can force a restart of the background process and attach to that with the `--restart` flag:

```

npx deemon --restart /bin/bash -c "while true; do date; sleep 1; done"

```
