Automate running of backups #3

The daemon is partly written. Right now it's looking for a ~/.simbur directory, but I'm not so sure that's the right approach. It needs to touch files for start and end of a backup run, and I'm trying to figure out where to put it. The installation doesn't create a ~/.simbur directory, so the daemon doesn't work at all yet.

There is now a daemon. It seems to work. Just missing the automatic startup. On Linux I'll use upstart. On mac os you use launchd. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/launchd.8.html.

Close, but I think I'm missing a symbolic link to let me type simply "start simburd". Also, would like to start or restart on installation of the package, which doesn't seem to be automatically done by dpkg.

Doh! Syntax error in simburd.conf was all that was wrong.

Still need to do for Mac.
