Console application and Daemonize

Hi,

I want to create a background application using RS and console app.

The job is read a device status over serial port.
The OS is Debian 6 without GUI, so my solution is:

App.Run
Call Daemonize()

For i As Integer = 0 To 100 //for example
//read serial port
//put the readed string to db
Next
End

The problem that it is not working. After starting app, it quits. (ps -e |grep appname = nothing)
BUT
If I leave the Daemonize() method, the console app is working.

I need to Daemonize, what should I do?

What should you do?

Read the documentation and search the forum for the answer.

I believe it is that when running in the IDE the app will quit if Daemonized.

Add your Daemonizing code only when you're ready to build.
