+# Tripal Daemon
+
+This module is meant to provide a simple means of creating a robust
+command-line-driven, fully bootstrapped PHP Daemon. It uses the PHP-Daemon
+(https://github.com/shaneharter/PHP-Daemon) Library to create the Daemon (via
+the Libraries API) in order to not re-invent the wheel ;-).
+
+
+## FEATURES
+* Provides a Drush interface to start/stop your Daemon.
+* Your daemon starts in the background and is detached from the current
+   terminal.
+* Daemon will run all Tripal Jobs submitted within 20 seconds.
+* A log including the number of jobs executed, their identifiers and results.
+* Lock Files, Automatic restart (8hrs default) and Built-in Signal Handling &
+   Event Logging are only a few of the features provided by the Daemon API
+   making this a fully featured & robust Daemon.
+
+## REQUIREMENTS
+* Libraries API (https://www.drupal.org/project/libraries)
+* PHP-Daemon Library version 2.0 (https://github.com/shaneharter/PHP-Daemon)
