Daemon, scripts and processes

Hi,

I am new to the world of Unix, I need some help in doing a small project at work.

Can anyone point out any good references for the below functions?

Objective
---------
To write a daemon that will run in the central server to
1) access our process(I will find this out), log down and churn reports when our process sound off an alarm
2) access the log directory PERIODICALLY
3) carry sorting of log information to
i) identify specific text and copy logs to another file
ii) rename the new file according to a fixed parameter and the date

Assistance required in
---------------------
I have done some readings on basic unix commands, but i need help in finding references to the following:
1) how to create a daemon process?
2) what will be a easy-to-pick-up scripting language for file and text functions?

Sorry for the ambiguous questions as a green horn usually do not know where to head off and get started.

Thanks

Killing processes in scripts

I have a small problem. It's annoying though. I wrote this shell script: # # This script will accept two arguments. The first is a flag and the # second is a time interval. The only valid flag is '-t' which means # the user will specify the interval in seconds, otherwise the # default is 600...

Finding the age of a unix process, killing old processes, killing zombie processes

I had issues with processes locking up. This script checks for processes and kills them if they are older than a certain time. Its uses some functions you'll need to define or remove, like slog() which I use for logging, and is_running() which checks if this script is already running so you can...

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
