We write a lot of daemons: programs which run on servers in the background, like an HTTP server, or a database. Once we've written the programs, though, we have to run them, and running programs as daemons is surprisingly heavy on details; it's fraught with perils for the unwary. If you go the traditional Unix way, you do some magic with double-forking and pid files and init scripts, and it's horribly tedious.
