A little daemon

[Raffaele Sandrini <maturarbeit@gmx.ch>]

Hi 
 
I need to have a little daemon wich runs as root and receaves commands wich
it executes and then 
sends back the reult code of the commands. It should be very simple - no
fancy stuff. 
 
I firstly thought about a little perl script sich listens to a Socket... Is
this a good idea (please 
don't tell me that its not a good idea to run such things as root but i need
it and i wont be a 
security risk :-)) )? I never did such things in perl... Can you give me
some hints? e.g how do i 
detach wich a perl script from the console. What is the best communication
method to use? 
 
cheers, 
Raffaele
