Hi Bulat,
My contribution to the survey: I've used forkProcess to daemonize
a ghc program inside the haskell fuse bindings:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HFuse
http://code.haskell.org/hfuse/System/Fuse.hsc
If removing the non-threaded RTS would break forkProcess entirely,
these bindings would have to do something different. The issue: users
of the FUSE C api will get daemonized using daemon(2); it'd be
nice if GHC fuse programs could behave similarly.
forkProcess should work with the threaded RTS, as long as you don't
enable multiple cores with +RTS -N<n>. However, forking is a pretty
tricky operation in a multi-threaded environment, and that's where the
difficulty comes from.
Cheers,
Simon
Thanks,
