Dear Stackoverflowers,

A simple link would be nice for me to understand how to install my C++ program as a deamon in UNIX, now i know some will say this should be on SERVERFAULT but as far as i understand it i need the init.d shell script to actually create the start and stop for the daemons.

But if you guys can show me a simple shell script for the daemon and the file directories every thing required is associated with, that would be great.

I was going to do this http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/46892 but if you read the comments every one is moaning x( .

P.S. ive already done the required code for C++ to run as a daemon i just need to know how to actually install it as a daemon. At the moment im using crontab which is just not a good idea for the future of my problem.

Thanks in advance
