I need to find a good book or WEB page reference on writing a daemon.  Any
suggestions?  Thanks.

And all should cry, Beware! Beware! His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.

If you're using AIX, the following URL ("Writing Reliable AIX
Daemons") is pretty good. Even if you're not, it's not entirely
AIX-centric.

Try "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment", by W. Richard Stevens.
See pages 415 to 420 for all you really have to know.
You might also want to look at "UNIX Network Programming" (same author)
p.335-339.
