Reattach a process to a deferent parent in C

[SIGTERMer]

hi. Can anyone tell me how to attach a forked process to init so that the forked process doesn't get killed when the parent dies?

setsid() should be what your looking for

If you have only one child process, then one simple trick is to treat the parent as the child and the child as the parent :) So just swap the roles.

madcow: Thank you. exactly what I needed :)

juzzlin: that's another way to skin a poor cat. thanks for bringing that up.
