Comment (by anonymous):
A sane daemon should not detatch from the controlling terminal, since you
lose the control over it, which breaks reliable service supervision, like
it's done by daemontools or runit. This also true for service designs in
other major operating systems, e.g. for Solaris[0], MacOS X[1] and the
like.
Just my 2 cent. :-)
