Hi,
I've written a server application using POE which is working pretty well
now. It's preforking some
processes and then listens on a TCP port to acceppt client request.
Now I'd like to run it independently, so my question is, is there an
easy way for me to run a POE
script daemonized (w/o having to use Unix backgrounding/forking)?
Any hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
There are several ways you can accomplish this. I've been using
Net::Server::Daemonize in $work code to good results. There's other
modules floating around in the CPAN - all you need to do is a quick
search of "daemon" and search.cpan.org turns up 123 results!
However, one "gotcha" about using those daemonize modules is that
you better wrap it in a BEGIN block so you are daemonized *before* you
fire up POE or weird things will happen ( in my case heh )
