[freeside-users] Problem daemonizing perl scripts (freeside-selfservice-server, freeside-queued etc)

[Jan Mulders]

Hey all.
I posted a message yesterday about freeside-queued not daemonising properly
(it only worked in 'foreground mode' using a patch) - and it seems the
problem is a little larger than initially surveyed.

None of the freeside daemons will run consistently; they all 'vanish' upon
daemonisation.

I was hoping someone could shed a little light on this, or at least point me
in the direction of where I'd start looking to find the problem. Could this
be a problem with my Perl installation?

All suggestions/hints/hunches greatly appreciated :)
