White-Hat`

I was wondering if anyone had any information or links for buildings daemons. Any information is appreciated

tempest

What would you like to know, how to start a program in deamon mode?

[php]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(Int argc, char *argv[]) {
pid_t daemon = fork();

if(daemon < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Could not for process...\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
} else if(daemon == 0)
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);


// Start program here...

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
[/php]

Dameon

Tempest's example is only the first step to daemon-izing a program.

If you want a Windows daemon, then I would suggest running it as a service. MSDN has a lot of resources on the subject.

Dameons are better anyway.
