Subject: Trying to create a Ruby daemon

Hi,
Does anyone here have an example on how to create a Ruby daemon that 
runs as a session leader (without a controlling terminal)? I've tried 
to accomplish that using fork and Process.setpgrp, but the only results 
so far have been zombie processes or processes that exit when I close 
the terminal. I'm quite new to Ruby so I guess that I've missed some 
little detail somewhere... :)

cheers,
