making the application session independent
Hi all,
I am actually new to Unix programming and this is my first question to this forum.
I have an application and i want it to run independent of the command shell.
For example, i run the application from a telnet session. But when i close my session, application is terminated. I just want it not to terminate on session termination..
Thanks,

pam_open_session
PAM_OPEN_SESSION(3) App. Programmers' Manual PAM_OPEN_SESSION(3)
NAME
pam_open/close_session - PAM session management
SYNOPSIS
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
int pam_close_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
PAM provides management-hooks for the initialization and termination of a session.
pam_open_session
Use this function to signal that an authenticated user session has begun. It should be called only after the user is properly iden-
tified and (where necessary) has been granted their credentials with pam_authenticate(3) and pam_setcred(3) respectively.
Some types of functions associated with session initialization are logging for the purposes of system-audit and mounting directories
(the user's home directory for example). These should not concern the application. It should be noted that the effective uid,
geteuid(2), of the application should be of sufficient privilege to perform such tasks.
pam_close_session
Use this function to signal that a user session has terminated. In general this function may not need to be located in the same
application as the initialization function, pam_open_session.
Typically, this function will undo the actions of pam_open_session. That is, log audit information concerning the end of the user
session or unmount the user's home directory. Apart from having sufficient privilege the details of the session termination should
not concern the calling application. It is good programming practice, however, to cease acting on behalf of the user on returning
from this call.
RETURN VALUE
A successful return from the session management functions will be indicated with PAM_SUCCESS.
The specific error indicating a failure to open or close a session is PAM_SESSION_ERR. In general other return values may be returned.
They should be treated as indicating failure.
ERRORS
May be translated to text with pam_strerror(3).
