>From a quick look at the CustomLog docs, it doesn't seem that you need
a daemon.  Apache will simply run your program and send logging
directives to your program's stdin.  In fact, a daemon, which from
apache's perspective just exits immediately, will give you the
behaviour you're seeing.

Googling around should result in some examples.
