[Tutor] Thread deamon

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

Well, I don't know how it works on Windows, but on UNIX, if you want to
create a deamon able to stay alive when you deconnect you "just" have to
catch the HUP signal and ... do nothing of it :) By default this signal
exit the application.

You have two ways of doing so :
 1 - use the standard signal handling to intercept the SIGHUP signal and
ignore it
 2 - launch your program using "nohup" :
$ nohup my_prg

In both cases it should stay alive after the death of the terminal.
