I wonder why the following code doesn't work at all:

---daemon1.rb----------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'daemons'

Daemons.daemonize

loop do
	sleep 2
end
------------------------------------

I run it (ruby daemon1.rb) and after it I check if there is any ruby process 
running:
  ps -ef | grep ruby

but it's not running ¿?¿?¿

Do I miss something? The above comes in the documentaion of Daemons:
  http://daemons.rubyforge.org/
