Interesting reading. I got my little daemon working in about 1 hour thanks 
to all the advice given here. The only signal I am handling is SIGQUIT. I 
use it to set a flag that causes all the worker threads in my daemon to 
exit. It works perfectly.

I was wondering if there is a template out there showing a reference 
implementation of signal handlers? If seems dangerous to just let the 
default handler handle all signals. Does that not mean SIGTERM would zap 
your process without giving you a chance to free file handles, close 
sockets of whatever?
