I don't think that addresses the issue of registering a name.
Perhaps more importantly though, the code above has the problem of 'daemon()'
being severely unportable.
In GNUstep you should use NSTask to portably create a subprocess.
The gdnc tool (base/Tools/gdnc.m) provides an example of a process which makes
itsself be a daemon in a portable manner.
