Daemonizing a Qt application

[squidge]

Just run your normal executable with &

./yourexe &

or, if you don't process SIGHUP

nohup ./yourexe &

thats it. Nothing special needs to be done (So you don't need 'inidaemon' function)

To kill, even if you trap signals like in your app above, just use kill:

kill -9 <pid>

You can't ignore or protect against kill -9

You should also add a command line switch to your application to suppress console output in this case, since '&' just starts executable in background and still connects current tty device to its stdout and stderr. Thus if you run your application this way you will still see it's log messages output (unless you log out).
Or you can manually redirect output with '>'.
