Ok, then I'm really confused.  Because the script is NOT running.

The script in question sends data to and receives data from a socket.  I 
have test code written which sends data to the appropriate socket, and 
receives back, and prints the result.

When I started the listener, then daemonized the script, the listener 
sat there doing nothing.  ps -ef returned nothing (for the script name). 
When I started the script alone, suddenly the listener has something to 
do, and the ps -ef returns data.  I am sure I did something wrong, I 
don't doubt it a bit, but... it really doesn't look like the script is 
running as a daemon.  Am I using the wrong checks?  Will my sockets 
suddenly work differently when run as a daemon?  I haven't found 
anything that says that's likely so... I must be confused.

Thank you for your quick responses.
