Full Discussion: Needs help in launching a console application with the help of daemon process
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Needs help in launching a console application with the help of daemon process Post 302484937 by citaylor on Monday 3rd of January 2011 05:21:44 PM

Perhaps the application is expecting there to be a stdout/stderr file descriptor - instead of the close you could try:
Code:
int fd=open("/dev/null",O_WRONLY);
if(fd >=0) {
    dup2(fd,STDOUT_FILENO);
    dup2(fd,STDERR_FILENO);
    close(fd);
}

Obviously on Linux you want to open "/dev/null", but I guess on windows that would be "nul"...
