[Haskell-cafe] how to implement daemon start and stop directives?

[Belka]

>If you want a normal daemon, you want to look at System.Posix.Process

>System.Posix.Terminal.queryTerminal).  You also want to write out a  
>pidfile (/var/run/programname.pid) for use by startproc / killproc,  
>and you want to install a handler for sigTERM  
>(System.Posix.Signals.installHandler) which sets the exit flag (TVar,  
>MVar, IORef, Chan, take your pick).  Ideally you also catch sigHUP and

Thanks for the guide, Brandon !!

By the way, I found a piece of code with function (daemonize :: IO () -> IO
()) (http://sneakymustard.com/2008/12/11/haskell-daemons), which is close to
the subject. 

I guess now I'm ready to implement my own daemon! 
Thanks for your help, everyboby!! =)
