The daemon can be started manually by running the following, as your web server user:
ezroot$ php bin/php/ezasynchronouspublisher.php
The script will run interactively. To start it in daemon mode (so that it actually detaches from the current session and will keep running even if you log out), the -n flag can be added:
ezroot$ php bin/php/ezasynchronouspublisher.php -n
