  Bot options work fine with normal server programs, but what happens if
the server program is a deamon, this is, the server program goes to
background when is runned? Example:

      #!/bin/sh
      while :
      do
         /usr/local/bin/ircd -x1  # run the IRC server
      done

The ircd program runs in background, then the while loop runs again
even the ircd program don't ends.

Somebody knows an option to do the same thing, with this kind of programs?
