	Haha.. that's what I get for not reading. I'm not sure where I thought
you meant cron where you said daemonize. This script will work much
better if you don't close stdin/stdout/stderr. They are inherited by the
children when they start. I'm not sure why that is fouling stuff up, since
they get reopened anyway, but it definitely is.
	Doing setsid() should make it so it doesn't die when the original
terminal is closed, but you may want to do setpgrp() so it doesn't die when
the parent (your shell) dies.
