Developers of Sympa

Hi folks,

Earthquake and corresponding neuclear crisis is disturbing life of
people on eastern Japan.  But here on metropolitan area, there is
one comfort that the sky is a bit clearly blue --- as traffic was
decreased.

BTW I realized that daemonization codes of Sympa daemons seem
not to be working as expected.  A test script is attached.

Below is the result on Linux (I checked only Linux 2.6 and Solaris 10).

For current coding, 
$ perl test_daemon.pl CUR 
PARENT: ioctl()
PARENT: setpgrp()
CHILD: PID:8108; PPID:8107; PGID:8107; SID:6270
PARENT: PID:8107; PPID:6270; PGID:8107; SID:6270
(sleep 3)
CHILD: PID:8108; PPID:1; PGID:8107; SID:6270

By my rewritten code,
$ perl test_daemon.pl IMP
CHILD: setsid()
PARENT: PID:8110; PPID:6270; PGID:8110; SID:6270
GRAND-CHILD: PID:8112; PPID:8111; PGID:8111; SID:8111
CHILD: PID:8111; PPID:1; PGID:8111; SID:8111
(sleep 3)
GRAND-CHILD: PID:8112; PPID:1; PGID:8111; SID:8111

I'm not familiar with daemon by Perl and wish to hear comments
from sympa-dev people.


In solidarity,
