detach-from-terminal

Hi All.

I've been trying to play around with detach-from-terminal on linux, but
I think I'm not quite doing things correctly. I've got a web app using
AServe that starts an instance of AServe, intializes some variables, and
then I want it to become a daemon running in the background.

I use generate-application to build my app.

I then kick it off with ./TestApp &

It initializes some vars, and then does the following:

  (net.aserve:start :port port
                    :listeners listeners
                    :keep-alive nil)

  (publish-web-pages)

  (if (excl.osi:detach-from-terminal-supported-p)
      (excl.osi:detach-from-terminal)
    (format t user::*C$daemonize-error-msg*))

  (tpl:top-level-read-eval-print-loop)


Things go downhill from there. I can't access the web front-end of my
app and when I check netstat on the machine, AServe is no longer
listening for connections on "port".

The app runs fine if I don't utilize detach-from-terminal.

I've done some web searching and documentation reading, but my efforts
have so far been fairly fruitless.

Any suggestions or pointers to examples/tutorials of running as a daemon
on unix/linux?
