You could crib from the ‘python-daemon’ library implementation <URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon>. Part of its job involves detaching the current program from the terminal. Or maybe you could simply invoke the library for its main purpose, if that would be sufficient to do what you need. -- \ “Sane people have an appropriate perspective on the relative | `\ importance of foodstuffs and human beings.
