mach ports cannot be done except after an exec, not fork.
ha ? uh ...
how could I do then ?
I plan to make it a StartupItem, so I need to make it a daemon, I
mean at last I should return immediately (and how to do that, if not
by using fork() ?)
and then I want to be able to do advanced communication, if I could
avoid having to write my own version of DO on top of socket that
would be cool.. any idea ?
call:
daemon(0, 0);
This will detach the program from the Terminal that's running it, and
make the current process a daemon. Check the man page: 'man daemon'
Note deamon does the same thing as what the code he gave, it will not
work.
The right thing to do is call exec on your program and have it pass
another option saying do not fork.
Thanks,
