[comp.unix] How do you write a daemon?

dmg@ssc-vax.UUCP (David Geary) (03/30/89)

  Well, I simply want to write a program that sits in the
  background, and watches for keystrokes/mouse events.  I have a
  much better idea of how to do this on my Amiga than I do in Unix.
  Do I have to write a daemon?  If so, how does one create a daemon?

  Thanx for the help.

  David

UNIX WORLD Magazine had an excellent tutorial on writing daemons just a few
months ago. Check the Nov or Dec '88 issues, or maybe Jan or Feb '89.
