Caveat: Unfortunately, I can only read code. As such, I do not have any experience writing any daemon or code. In addition to the aforementioned advice, one may want to look at the following two repositories: https://github.com/krwesterback/newd Skeleton OpenBSD daemon - three process, priv separated https://github.com/krwesterback/newdctl Skeleton control program for OpenBSD daemon The last commits on these might seem slightly old, so in case there is an authoritative/updated location of these sources, please feel free to share that. > > > -pekka- Dhanyavaad, ab ---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|--
