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

Replying to your assistance part, here are a couple of URL's for daemon process.

Scripting language.

Perl is supposed to very good.
You could also try out the shell scripting along with other unix utilities.
