Use `-f' option in daemon(8). Otherwise it'd still spam to tty.

  $ daemon top
  $ procstat -f $(pgrep top)
    PID COMM               FD T V FLAGS    REF  OFFSET PRO NAME
  36719 top               cwd v d --------   -       - -   /home/blah
  36719 top              root v d --------   -       - -   /
  36719 top                 0 v c rw------   9  686053 -   /dev/pts/3
  36719 top                 1 v c rw------   9  686053 -   /dev/pts/3
  36719 top                 2 v c rw------   9  686053 -   /dev/pts/3
  36719 top                 3 v c r-------   1       0 -   /dev/null
  36719 top                 4 v c r-------   1       0 -   /dev/null
