[smokeping-users] Trouble Starting Smokeping

[Romeo]

Hi Chris,

After commented slaves and start smokeping i got the result below;

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smokeping start
Starting smokeping.
Note: logging to syslog as local0/info.
Daemonizing /usr/local/bin/smokeping ...
romeo# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smokeping restart
Stopping smokeping.
Starting smokeping.
Note: logging to syslog as local0/info.
Daemonizing /usr/local/bin/smokeping

What does daemonizing means? does it mean smokeping is running now? thanks
