This is quite old as init is pretty much replaced by the kitchen sink nowadays (aka systemd).
FWIW, a double fork so parent exists is the typical way that daemons were started in the old days. Assume still the like nowadays.
- nikital 7y agoI think it's important to distinguish between the concept of the init process vs specific implementations of the init process. The article talks about the init process in general (the process that runs as PID 1 and picks orphaned processes). There are different implementations of init (such as SysV-style, systemd, Upstart etc) but it doesn't make a difference for this article.
