After hitting the snag on the Apache module I’ve turned to a Daemon Application(TCustomDaemonApplication) that is also needed for my project.

Once I realized that there were no obvious way to hook to *nix signals, and the one I’m looking is SIGHUP for config reload, I dived into the source. What I find out is that the whole concept is rather Windows centric and very poorly implemented *nix wise.

So, my question is, should I use a daemonapp.(pp|inc) of my own and include my own fpSigaction() calls under Procedure SysInitDaemonApp; or is there a “proper” way of doing it that I’ve missed?

    If (all) apps are required to handle hup, then file a bug so that it is added. Otherwise just add your own.

    In general I would try to use the daemonapp as much as possible. While a tad simplistic, it makes communicating about features a bit simpler, and one might get a few fixes and improvements for free in the future.
