Class TweetStream::Daemon
In: lib/tweetstream/daemon.rb
Parent: TweetStream::Client

A daemonized TweetStream client that will allow you to create backgroundable scripts for application specific processes. For instance, if you create a script called tracker.rb and fill it with this:

    require 'rubygems'
    require 'tweetstream'

    TweetStream::Daemon.new('user','pass', 'tracker').track('intridea') do |status|
      # do something here
    end

And then you call this from the shell:

    ruby tracker.rb start

A daemon process will spawn that will automatically run the code in the passed block whenever a new tweet matching your search term (‘intridea’ in this case) is posted.
