Since you have the HOST function in forms, you don't really need the
daemon package. But to use it, you will assign a number data item the
value DAEMON.EXECUTE_SYSTEM(<system command>); then check the value. 0
means that the command was executed successfully, anything else means
that there was an error. Check your forms manual on the builtin HOST
function. You'll find it accomplishes the same thing as daemon.
Hope this helps.
