I would like to make a service/daemon that is able to launch applications 
when I pass it a string over a socket.  Shell call doesn't make much sense 
since that would block my application.  

No it needent: just run it in the background.  Something like:

        nohup CMD &

where CMD is your command.  You may need to run it in csh, tcsh, ksh,
or bash rather than sh.
