I heartily third that recommendation. I've gotten so much

use out of that book. The best thing is the example code,

make minimal changes and your up an running. I've had to

write a few daemon processes in the last year, and the book

was a great help. The daemon code in Chapter 14 will give

you syslogging and kill -HUP functionality as well.
