I don't understand.  setsid doesn't change the identity, it just puts the
(forked) process into a new session, and divorces it from the pty.  The
process is still running as "root".  It's similar to (or, rather, a subset
of) the Linux "daemon" API call.  Since it is good enough for Apache/httpd,
I really didn't expect any controversy on this one.

The problem is that the monitor still gets signals from my terminal session
(including HUP when I try to logout).  Similar to below, it hangs my ssh
session, since there is still an active proc in the same session as mine
when I try to logout.
