I’m interested in using something like DaemonMode.jl to keep a Julia process running and send commands to it from another process. However, DaemonMode doesn’t seem to have been updated since 2021, and doesn’t install on my machine – is there a similar, updated package, or some sort of workaround people use?

I had always been under the impression that DaemonMode is fine as is, I often see it recommended (although maybe not by people using it?)

I just tested (Julia 1.11.5, Win11) and the example from the readme worked just fine, what’s going wrong for you?

Looks like the issues were with my environment – I cleaned it up and it looks like DaemonMode works!
