Well thanks for the offer to help. I planned to turn my application in to a daemon all along so I wrote it to have no interface. It does not rely on the existence of stdin/stdout/stderr and I log everything using calls to syslog(). So what I needed to know what how to detach the io streams and whatever else was necessary for a process to be considered a daemon. BTW: I was under the impression that just typing 'mydaemon&' would not work. I thought that the process would be terminated when I logged off in any case. Is there some way around that or am I just completely mistaken? Thanks again for all the help. -- Peter Long _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
