Hello fellow cygwinners,
It looks as though my method of daemonizing stopped working
under b 20.1 !!! I wrote my own version of the typical "daemonize"
function long ago. Has always worked fine under UNIX and did under
b19.x as well. But now that I upgraded to b20.1:
If I run an app from a dos shell that calls my daemonize() function,
it releases the shell O.K., ie. I get the prompt back. However, if I
then close that shell, my daemon dies with it.
Somebody just doesn't want to let go. What's changed ???
Thanks in advance,
Steve B.
