No, that is not it at all.
A daemon is a detached background process, like services are on windows.
They have no user interface and are supposed to run a long time.
webservers, mailservers etc are typically daemons.
Has absolutely nothing to do whit language/tasks/delays at all

However this is what I thought you wanted, a process in the background.
But I realize it is not.

I have not seen the option that Jeff talks about in MacOsx, junst in
windows and in Linux desktops.
Perhaps you can use
<http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus>

Write a one-liner bash that starts you program, and point platypus to that.

(No I have not tried it myself)
