 /** \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.
+
+    This collection of utilities provides help in managing daemon processes.
