Hm. I think I have a Server I need to background itself when initialization is done. It is not that good if this process would chdir to "/", but right now it doesn't matter.
Ok, perhaps I am a heretic, but I don't understand why any process needs any special voodoo to 'Daemonize' itself. There is of course the simple & to use UNIX shell backgrounding, and then if I'm writing a server daemon, I am most likely going to write an /etc/rc.d shell wrapper with the common start, stop, status, and restart hooks. Can your application make use of these standard Unixy way things of doing things? If you can't, what is the problem preventing you from doing so?
