Try using nm-connection-editor (GTK+ based UI app). Don't know in
which version the nmcli support for editing connections was added.

Yeah, NetworkManager becomes a daemon by default unless --no-daemon is
used, ModemManager never becomes a daemon by default. You can likely
use start-stop-daemon for that if you want; or rely on DBus
auto-activation; or let systemd handle the lifecycle for you, whatever
you prefer. I don't think we'll add the daemonizing logic within MM,
truth be told, not sure how helpful will that be.
