/**
* daemonize - turn this process into a daemon.
*
* This routine forks us off to become a daemon. It returns false on failure
* (eg. fork(), chdir or open failed) and sets errno.
*
* Side effects for programmers to be aware of:
* - PID changes (our parent exits, we become child of init)
* - stdin and stdout file descriptors are closed
* - stderr is reopened to /dev/null so you don't reuse it
* - Current working directory changes to /
* - Umask is set to 0.
