Thanks everybody, I'm not worried about it now.



You are not talking about a daemon if it has a user interface. You are
talking about a background application. You might consider writing a proper
daemon and providing a separate program for administration.

Aside from my naming it incorrectly, what would the be advantage of this approach? I can think of one, I could run it from inetd or cron or something like that.

ahh, I see...

This won't work if you want your code to run while no one is logged in or if you want your code to start as part of the system startup. Instead, you should split your code into a proper daemon and a GUI app to manage the daemon.

I actually don't need it to run unless a user is logged in.
