Re: Easy Daemons... ((Super )Search hits)

I've yet to use Proc::Daemon myself, but Search and Super Search on 'daemonize', 'background', and 'fork' turned up the following potentially relevant threads:

Proc::Daemon
How do I run a script in the background? How should I run a script as daemon?
perl daemon
Is it possible to background a perl script from within itself?
Background Process
How do run a subroutine in the background
How do I fork a daemon process?

    cheers,

Update: and for you Win32 fans out there, try this on for size: How to hide window with Win32:API?

I read all that stuff, and I'll implement it if I have to, but I always try to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Also, I wanted to see if there were undocumented problems, like the old memory leak problem in Tie::Cache::LRU _______________________________________________ "Intelligence is a tool used achieve goals, however goals are not always chosen wisely..."
