Using two dos windows to do the same .. I line the two commands
up .. hit enter on the first, click the second and hit enter ...  my timing
is right, but the whole process is too quick.  The console-monitor
only manages to draw its frame before the daemon starts to shut
things down.

Maybe what would help is a debug version of the daemon, where
it doesn't close down the monitor on exit (?) .. this would mean
rebooting the machine between tests, but at this stage its better
than not being able to get any info at all.  Alternatively, a version
of daemon that writes console output to a text file (like a "dmesg"
style output) would also be very useful.


Hmm .. if it calls co_terminate then perhaps I could get this function
to sleep for a minute within the linux kernel itself ... might help.  This
I could have a look at.
