Some systems supply a daemon function for running a process in the background.
#include <unistd.h>
int daemon (int nochdir, int noclose);
If the parameter nochdir is zero, the function changes the directory to "/",
otherwise it stays in the current working directory.
The noclose parameter, if zero, directs stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null.
When in doubt, search your man pages for this function.
