You're WRITING THIS CODE YOURSELF RATHER THAN USING A CPAN MODULE. I hope you have lots of tests for this wheel... BTW, I'd need a copy of Stevens handy to be sure, but I recall that the canonical unix daemonisation dance goes: double fork close standard file descriptors become session leader (POSIX::setsid IIRC) become process group leader (POSIX::setpgrp IIRC) set signal mask to ignore SIGHUP change working dir to root set file creation mask (umask) drop privileges I might well be missing a step. I think you did, too, though. /joel
