[log4perl-devel] Proc::Daemon::Init

[<wi...@da...>]

Hey all, 

While developing an application I am hoping to use the Proc::Daemon::Init module along with Log4perl, but it seems whenever I use Proc::Daemon's Init function the log4perl logger does not work, I am assuming because I am calling 'init' before Proc::Daemon has done its thing, and in particular because of #6 below.  Is my hunch correct?  Will there be a problem with not having a controlling terminal (can't see a reason for it, except in the case of trying to use a Log::Dispatch::Screen appender, or the like).

>From the Proc::Daemon docs:

"The Proc::Daemon::Init function does the following:

   1. Forks a child and exits the parent process.
   2. Becomes a session leader (which detaches the program from the controlling terminal).
   3. Forks another child process and exits first child. This prevents the potential of acquiring a controlling terminal.
   4. Changes the current working directory to "/".
   5. Clears the file creation mask.
   6. Closes all open file descriptors. "

Thanks for your insights or suggestions on a better way to handle  any of this,
