in reply to Monitoring after fork && exit

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but perhaps these might be of help:
  1. perlfaq8: How do I fork a daemon process?
  2. Proc::Daemon
  3. Is it possible to background a perl script from within itself?
  4. How do I run a script in the background? How should I run a script as daemon?
  5. STDOUT and daemon processes
  6. Daemons???
  7. Net::Daemon and Net::Server
