in reply to Keeping grandchild alive when mod_perl process is killed

I haven't tried this with Apache/mod_perl, but it might work to call POSIX::setsid() in the first child. That is how daemons liberate themselves from their parent process.

    I think it's suppose to be in the grandchild (at least the docs for setsid indicate that you should do it in a child of init), but you're totally right: that's exactly what I was missing. Thanks a bunch, man!
