Message: [QUOTE="Reimer Behrends, post: 4421362"] Daemonization in seven easy steps [1]: exit if fork # Parent exits, child continues. Process.setsid # Become session leader. exit if fork # Zap session leader. See [1]. Dir.chdir "/" # Release old working directory. File.umask 0000 # Ensure sensible umask. Adjust as needed. STDIN.reopen "/dev/null" # Free file descriptors and STDOUT.reopen "/dev/null", "a" # point them somewhere sensible. STDERR.reopen STDOUT # STDOUT/ERR should better go to a logfile. Refine as necessary. Reimer Behrends [1] [URL]http://www.erlenstar.demon.co.uk/unix/faq_2.html#SEC16[/URL] [/QUOTE]
