Application 0.4.6 with global_context.
Hi All, I'd like to share this simple article on CP about 'Application 0.4.6'. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/756866/Build-a-Server-Application-using-... This version removes Boost.Singularity dependence and add a global context. Let me know your comments. Source: https://github.com/retf/Boost.Application ReTF

I find the idea, to have a cross-platform way of creating daemons/services, worthwhile. I would like to suggest that the name be changed from Application, which is far too generic for just creating a computer program, to something more appropriate, maybe 'daemon'. I have never used the Mac, but does this extend to that OS ?

It actually provide a way to make a non-daemon application (mentionned in the part about launching the app).

This name crossed my mind as well.

If the main usage is likely to be 'daemonic', then Boost.Daemon would still be a good name.
From the current name, one would be unlikely to guess that it could do daemon work?
