Wow.  I wrote the same exact thing about a week or two ago.

I took a slightly different approach though.  I opened a unix domain 
socket to receive messages on and also opened up ptys for each domain.

The daemon takes care of multiplexing and demultiplexing the messages so 
if your app sends a message, it will only get that response.

What are your thoughts on this approach?  I particularly like the idea 
of piping the console data to a pty.
