You can daemonize it now, by setting Application.Daemon to TRUE. 

When daemonized, thr application forks, the parent fork terminates, so that 
there is no connection with the initial application parent process, and the 
child fork closes its standard output, input, error output, and sets its 
current directory to "/".

You cannot return to the "non-daemonized" state of course.

The name of this property may change if I (or somebody else) find a better 
name.
