Comments on: As Close to A Real Daemon As Bash Scripts Get http://blog.apokalyptik.com/2008/05/09/as-close-to-a-real-daemon-as-bash-scripts-get/ The random things that spew forth from my brain...

It's too bad that the folks who feel they must be so arrogant can't be more helpful. You, sir, are an angel! The three most important concepts regarding daemonizing (is that a real word?) are looping, backgrounding and detaching and they are often not discussed in other posts. Thank you.

Thanks! Just to note, your function must be called "payload", the post already says this, but it didn't sink in on localhost, so to speak.
