I tested it again, and it works fine in both 2.065 and 2.066.
Be aware that you should comment out:
// close(STDOUT_FILENO);
// close(STDERR_FILENO);
A daemon normally detaches itself from the terminal by closing
the STD* files. All D's runtime exception messages will not
appear in that case.
At least theoretically, whatever happens in the parent should
not affect the child, so I don't really believe it has
something to do with the way exit() works. You can actually
test this by making the parent not exit immediately, but sleep
for some time.
Good point. I'll try that.
And just to be sure: have you tested your program without the
call to daemonize?
Yes, it writes a dot to the logfile every 2 seconds :-)
