[Gllug] Starting a daemon

[t.clarke]

By the way,  the & results in the background program still being logically
'attached' to your terminal.
I believe if you quit it may possibly 'die' unless nohup is specified - you
will need to experiment.

Should you need to completely detach the program from the terminal, so that it
will independently 'for ever' as a proper daemon, I have a small C program
which daemonises other programs,  eg:
daemon  program-name
