/** \defgroup process Process Management
- This collection of utilities provides help in managing daemon processes.
+ Future features:
+
+ \li Daemon manager watching the real daemon. Auto-restart, when the daemon fails
+
+ \li Provide access to the config console indirectly via the daemon manager. This allows to
+ connect to the daemon manager console even if the app is not running
+
+ \li For this to be efficient, the daemon manager must be it's own executable (e.g. senf-launch)
- \idea Add communication between parent and child process to daemonize() and add things like
- init_done(), failure() etc which allow the daemon process to tell the frontend of successful
- startup or failure. This probably means moving all the methods into a DaemonTools class (as
- statics or via a singleton). This would also allow for automatic pid file creation and
- removal (remove in global destructor).
+ \li auto-detect whether called from senf-launch or not
- \idea Add a DaemonProcess baseclass with init() and main() abstract members which wraps the
- startup process. DaeminProcess::run() would fork, call init(), create a pid file and then
- call main(). Exceptions during init()'s execution would be passed to the parent
- process. This is based on the above API.
+ \li when daemon is running, the console is transparently forwarded to the daemon. The daemon
+ however can still access the daemon manager as a subgroup
+
+ \li No idea, whether this is sensible: Make the daemon manager completely self-contained (not
+ dependent on any external OS support) by providing our own log-file rotation support.

\idea A closeall()/closemost() function which is useful when starting child processes. We'll use
getrlimit to now the biggest filehandle and close all of em. closemost() takes a number of
