Talk:Run as a daemon or service

Bad definition?

It's probably better to describe a daemon as a process that runs in the background and independent of a user's login session, if anything. "Not connected to a terminal" isn't quite it, a daemon could print to a tty all day if it wants to. Also, why do you want a daemon process to both detach from stdout and print to stdout? Wouldn't it be saner to have it directly write to a file to begin with? --Ledrug 08:23, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
