-'''
-	This module is used to fork the current process into a daemon.
-	Almost none of this is necessary (or advisable) if your daemon 
-	is being started by inetd. In that case, stdin, stdout and stderr are 
-	all set up for you to refer to the network connection, and the fork()s 
-	and session manipulation should not be done (to avoid confusing inetd). 
-	Only the chdir() and umask() steps remain as useful.

-		This forks the current process into a daemon.
-		The stdin, stdout, and stderr arguments are file names that
-		will be opened and be used to replace the standard file descriptors
-		in sys.stdin, sys.stdout, and sys.stderr.
-		These arguments are optional and default to /dev/null.
-		Note that stderr is opened unbuffered, so
-		if it shares a file with stdout then interleaved output
-		may not appear in the order that you expect.
