I'm not sure exactly what is meant by a daemon but I think it is a faceless=
 program that runs in the background over an extended period of time. Mine =
might satisfy that definition--it is faceless and runs until all of the sev=
eral "delay-beep" pairs are executed, then quits.

Apple's launchctrl might work but it looks very complicated to learn.
