I daemonize as follows:
chdir ('/') || exit 1;
open STDIN, '/dev/null';
open STDOUT, '>/dev/null';
if (my $pid = fork ()) {
open (PID, '>/var/run/my-prog.pid') || exit 1;
flock (PID, 2);
print PID "$pid";
close (PID);
exit 0;
}
POSIX::setsid () || exit 1; # follow the leader
open STDERR, '>&STDOUT';
Guaranteed to become the session leader, and completely dissociates from the
terminal.
