I am afraid if I did not understand you, do you want to
know how to stop daemon?  Since tuple server should always
awake whenever client connects, I think the server should
not be stopped by special signal like ^C.

Using drb-1.2.2:
  trap( "INT" ) { DRb.thread.kill }
  DRb.start_service( 'druby://:7640', TupleSpace.new )
  puts DRb.uri
  DRb.thread.join
  puts 'exit...'

Using drb-1.3.x:
  trap( "INT" ) { DRb.stop_service }
  DRb.start_service( 'druby://:7640', TupleSpace.new )
  puts DRb.uri
  DRb.thread.join
  puts 'exit...'

Using lightweight trick:
  DRb.start_service( 'druby://:7640', TupleSpace.new )
  puts DRb.uri
  if $DEBUG
    gets
    puts 'exit...'
    exit
  else
    DRb.thread.join
  end

Can you tell me more detail of the behaviors and your source?
