I have a script that needs to run all the time to glue two processes together. I wrote it in Perl and it works but I have to start it up manually and it writes to the screen. I want to convert it to run in the background like a deamon, creating a PID file (I guess?), catching SIG's, writing to a log file, being started during boot, controlled through /etc/rc.d/init.d, etc. I'm not a crack UNIX programmer and so I thought I would see if anyone had a boilerplate or sample program I could start from. This is for Red Hat 6.x machines, if that matters. Thanks in advance -Alan --- Alan D.
