David, I've been tossing around the idea of introducing a function that provides something close to being equivalent to daemon(3)[1] in BSD to simplify the work needed to make a program run as a daemon.
The presence of contracts in OpenSolaris makes it seem necessary to add a 3rd argument to this, indicating whether or not you want the daemon to have its own contract. Is there a requirement for more options than just this, or just more flexibility in this? Would the work done in sshd shape up to be a good model for what should be done in such a function?
