Daemon howto

On Unix/Linux a daemon is a program that runs in the background independent from the logged in user.

The way to achieve this is normally to directly fork after the execution and let the parent process exit. This results in the child process having lost its parent which leads to the init process automatically inheriting this process.

As some of you might know, I'm at the moment working on my Master thesis and I'm building the core for Origo.

The last couple of days I spent trying to make my stuff into proper daemons that can run for hours and hours with lots of requests going on. After a couple of difficulties it now looks very promising.
