That book is 12 years old. I wasn't a unix programmer then, so I don't have an opinion about what the lowest common denominator was then. Maybe a dozen years this was sensible advice.

But it's just trolling to post that crap in snippets, when the code in my snippet is mostly out of the documentation, I only add a logfile. The way I do it *IS* the modern cannonical daemonize for *nix. Sorry, just the reality of the modern world you live in. Maybe you guys like this paranoia for systems no longer in use, and telling people they're wrong, when obviously these aren't bugs in the code I posted.

Is your goal to help Zaxo discourage people posting snippets?

This is NOT in Seekers, you'll notice.

Did I mention we're in snippets, and you're spamming my code with bad recommendations? There is a reviews section, right?

Go post a snippet of your own if you want to post nodes in this section.
