[UNIX]deamonize a process ?

[Joona I Palaste]

Hello,

(running config : slackware with a 2.4.26 kernel )
I have a http server which run normally (a fork which accept connections) .

Your question is off-topic on comp.lang.c as it concerns OS-specific
extensions to C. Please ask in comp.unix.programmer.

Hello,

(running config : slackware with a 2.4.26 kernel )
I have a http server which run normally (a fork which accept connections) .
But I would like
to change the behaviour of my server (I would like to daemonize it ) :

Like the man said, this is off-topic for comp.lang.c

But, a hint: take a look at http://www.enderunix.org/docs/eng/daemon.php

Hello,

(running config : slackware with a 2.4.26 kernel )
I have a http server which run normally (a fork which accept connections) .
But I would like
to change the behaviour of my server (I would like to daemonize it ) :
- When I start it from the shell : #my_http_serv I would like to get
the same behaviour than apache.
example : #my_http_serv start
# <- here i come back
to the original shell.
How Can I do that please ?

Thanks.

p.s :I have written all the information ( pid , ...) into files ....

read the man page for daemon(3) (no kidding)
Pass further *nix questions to comp.unix.programmer or

Please don't send me email copies of your replies to my posts!

It depends on your shell. If your shell is not able to properly put
a process in background, use the nohup command.
