Subject:   A program for launching daemons?
Message-ID:  <Pine.BSF.3.91.951114051212.243E-100000@jhome.DIALix.COM>

I've written a small program, which is basically does a getopt(), 
daemon() and execv(). I find this useful for launching shell scripts like 
/usr/local/etc/rc.news which hang around in the background.

Is anybody going to get upset if I import it into -current?  (I call it 
"daemon" on my systems, perhaps an alternative name might be "launch"?)

Cheers,
-Peter
