Searching apple.com for posix_spawn() lists almost exclusively the

A good place to start is the UNIX 03 spec itself:

That's indeed a good reference, thanks. For getting started it would be
good to have additionally something with more overview, like the technotes.
The technotes on Carbon and launchd I found extremely good. They specify
nicely what the design-idea of Mac OS is.
For the fork-problem, however, my previous reference
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Articles/LaunchOnDemandDaemons.html
even notes:
[...] Although many of the preceding behaviors may be standard tasks for
daemons to perform, they are not recommended when running under launchd.
[...]
But it leaves aside how the standard tasks are to be performed on the
Mac, then :-D
Cheers,
Mario
