Subject: How to daemonize a Ruby program

Hi, I've coded a Ruby server listening in TCP and UDP. For TCP I use GServer 
and for UDP an own code.

I need to daemonize it to get it working in background so I can manage the 
service using a Debian init script, but I have no idea of how to do it.

Basically I run the following:

  tcp_server = GServer.new(bind_port, bind_ip)
  tcp_server.start
  tcp_server.join

So, how could I get the programm running in background?
This is, I must be able tu run the program in a terminal:
  ./my_server.rb
and leave the same terminal free to use it while the daemon is running.

Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
