I strongly recommend making a non-daemonizing service. It's so much
easier to debug - there's one mode of operation, the script just runs.
You can then run that directly in a terminal, or via tmux, or via
systemd - and I've done all three with Yosemite. In fact, I think I
have instances here on the LAN that are doing all three, right now!
