[Libevent-users] running as a forked process errors out

[Bob Maccione]

I have a simple app that I tried to convert to run as a daemon.

This is on Solaris and when i do the fork() I get the following error
from the event_dispatch()

 ioctl: DP_POLL: Permission denied
event_dispatch received an error of -1

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before or has working daemon code
that they would be willing to share..

I've tried the following


if( fork() ) {
  exit(0);
}

setsid();

if( fork() ) {
  exit(0);
}

then do the rest of the code....

the 2 forks are recommended in all of the popular texts (i.e.  Stevens
)...

thanks for any help,
bobm
