That is a good link. Please reread this sentence: "The concepts of "foreground" and "background" don't apply to dæmons." a few times. There is no such thing as a daemon running in the "background". Foreground and background only apply to programs with a controlling terminal. By definition, a daemon has no controlling terminal. Yes you seem to have a daemon that is superfluously re-daemonizing itself, but if done correctly this is a harmless waste of time. I doubt that it explains 3 instances of the daemon running. Still, why not remove that code and see what happens? A program launched by "cron" or "at" will be a daemon and this might be an easier way to test it.

volinstall

volinstall(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     volinstall(8)

NAME

       volinstall - Sets up Logical Storage Manager (LSM) environment after LSM installation

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/volinstall

DESCRIPTION

       The volinstall script sets up LSM special device files, and add the following lines to the /etc/inittab file:

       lsmr:s:sysinit:/sbin/lsmbstartup  -b  </dev/console  >/dev/console  2>&1  lsm:23:wait:/sbin/lsmbstartup -n </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1
       vol:23:wait:/sbin/volreconfig -n </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1

       The first line calls the /sbin/lsmbstartup script, which enables LSM to start automatically on system reboot. The  second  line	calls  the
       /sbin/volreconfig script, which handles any pending encapsulation requests.

       If /sbin/lsmbstartup is not added to the /etc/inittab file, LSM must be started manually after system reboot.

									  Note

       The  volinstall script is automatically invoked by the volsetup, clu_create, and clu_add_member commands. Therefore, running the volinstall
       script to set up LSM is usually not necessary.
