Django management call_command

Hello, I wrote a test management Command:

def start_daemon():
    pidfile_rule = "/tmp/ihe_test.pid"
    p = str(os.getpid())
    file(pidfile_rule, 'w').write(p)
    while True:
        print "Hello"
        sleep(10)

class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = 'Starts or stops the daemons'

    option_list = BaseCommand.option_list + (
        make_option('--start',
                    action='store_true',
                    dest='status',
                    help='Start the daemons'),
        make_option('--stop',
                    action='store_false',
                    dest='status',
                    default=False,
                    help='Stop the daemons'),
        )

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        status = options.get('status')
        pidfile_rule = "/tmp/ihe_test.pid"
        if status:
            try:
                start_daemon()
            except Exception, e:
                print e
        else:
            x = file(pidfile_rule, 'r').read()
            os.kill(int(x), signal.SIGKILL)

Now what I want to accomplish:

In a form if a boolean field is True then execute (start) the daemon. If the boolean field is toggled False the daemon should be stopped. However the problem is:

wagnerf+  5882  0.3  0.1 108892 21388 pts/3    S+   17:32   0:00 /usr/bin/python2.7 manage.py runserver
wagnerf+  5883 51.5  0.4 580376 52292 pts/3    Rl+  17:32   0:35 /usr/bin/python2.7 manage.py runserve

One is the normal runserver and one is the daemon. Obviously I can't use the site anymore. How exactly must it be coded so that the managment call is a seperate process?
