Indicates that the executable will be run as a daemon. This option is only available on machines that run in UNIX or Linux environments. For machines that are running Microsoft Windows that require similar functionality, use the \fBchef\-client::service\fP recipe in the \fBchef\-client\fP cookbook: \fI\%http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/chef-client\fP. This will install a chef\-client service under Microsoft Windows using the Windows Service Wrapper.

-Indicates that a chef\-client run will be contained in a secondary process with dedicated RAM. When the chef\-client run is complete the RAM will be returned to the master process. This option helps ensure that a chef\-client will use a steady amount of RAM over time because the master process will not run recipes. This option will also help prevent memory leaks (such as those that can be introduced by the code contained within a poorly designed cookbook).
