If you're serious about doing this sort of thing, you could do worse than to get hold of a copy. All the details of how to write a daemon and why the various steps are needed , together with so much more. And Richard Stevens was an exemplary technical author. | |

Usually, we expect a daemon to not have a controlling tty. That's why we close fds and double-fork. These days, we can achieve that externally using helpers such as daemonize rather than having to re-implement in every daemon we write.
