The canonical reference for proper daemonisation of a Unix process is
W. Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment,
Addison-Wesley, 1992. Source code can be found in the "daemoninit.c" in
http://www.kohala.com/start/apue.tar.Z ; a paraphrase of it is part of
http://knight.cis.temple.edu/~ingargio/cis307/readings/daemon.html .
