I like this. Added. Though a bit differently implemented.
- no need to make things more complex and portable, when inotify is yet
quite linux only, thus just using d_type in dirent instead of stat
calls.
- opening the directory before daemonisation, as it might be relative.

Yeah, that I always forget...

AFAIK daemon(false,...) should always make that call, and from my tests
it also always does so.
Thanks again,
