I have the need to launch a tool from my GUI application that needs to
be in its own process group (i.e. the parent process should not be the
GUI app which launched it, since it needs to outlive the parent process.)
It will use CFMessagePort to communicate with the parent app.
I seem to recall that using fork not followed immediately by exec was
a bad idea for Foundation/CoreFoundation tools or applications, but at
the moment I can't find those references in the archives.
Is using fork (or daemon, as the case may be) at the top of main going
to cause me grief when I want to later use Foundation or
CoreFoundation services?
Any other recommended approaches?
Jim
