I have written a program in PERL that forks daemon process.  I have the
daemon process do a ioctl(TTY, &TIOCNOTTY, 0), and even give it a unique
process group id with setpgid(0, $$).  When running under an rlogin shell,
I can logout and the daemon process keeps running.  However, if I'm using
the Display Manager, it does it's utmost to kill the process when I logout.

Since the apollo doesn't have a NOHUP signal, I can't kill('NOHUP', $$) it.o

How can I setup a process so that the DM won't kill it upon logging out???

Thanks in advance!
