Look into DBM files. I've created a process that is similar to yours (parent process forks child processes) and they are all daemons. I used a DBM file to communicate between them. The only draw back was you will have to implement a file locking schema to prevent corrupting your DBM file.

I wrote a server which listens on a specific port and for each client splits child proccess (using fork()). I need to exchange between them (proccesses). I tried to use pipe (used socketpair function), but can create only one. I have such a general question: How to organize interconnection between proccesses though server? How does server know which client sends data (proccess identification) and how can it send data to a cpecific client? Thank you. P.S.
