[UNIX]deamonize a process ?

[Franki]

Hello,

(running config : slackware with a 2.4.26 kernel )
I have a http server which run normally (a fork which accept connections) .
But I would like
to change the behaviour of my server (I would like to daemonize it ) :
- When I start it from the shell : #my_http_serv I would like to get
the same behaviour than apache.
example : #my_http_serv start
# <- here i come back
to the original shell.
How Can I do that please ?

Thanks.:)

p.s :I have written all the information ( pid , ...) into files ....

Your question is off-topic on comp.lang.c as it concerns OS-specific
extensions to C. Please ask in comp.unix.programmer.

Like the man said, this is off-topic for comp.lang.c

But, a hint: take a look at http://www.enderunix.org/docs/eng/daemon.php

But then when he logs out or closes his xterm, the server will stop.

It depends on your shell. If your shell is not able to properly put
a process in background, use the nohup command.
