run as daemon, how, due could not made it about microsocks HOT 7 CLOSED

there's plenty of ways to background a task:

• nohup
• screen
• tmux
• inetd
• write your own simple systemd service script

[Unit]
Description=My Service NAME
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=YOUR_USERNAME
WorkingDirectory=/home/YOUR_USERNAME/
ExecStart=/path/to/binary
Restart=always #on-failure # or always, on-abort, etc

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

save as /etc/systemd/system/SERVICENAME.service

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void daemonize(void) {
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if (pid < 0) {
                exit(1);
        }
        if (pid > 0) exit(0);
        setsid(); /* obtain a new process group */
        int fd;
        for (fd = getdtablesize(); fd >= 0; --fd) close(fd); /* close all descriptors */
        fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR); dup(fd); dup(fd); /* handle standart I/O */
}

here's the code to deamonize (from libulz), you can add it to the file and call it from main() but i think your issue is PEBKAC so i'm not gonna put this into the official version...

of course can solved rudimentary with "--make-pidfile" and "--background" but there's some plans to make the program background? (i already know its light and simple but well..)

thanks @rofl0r but as i said, i created but the binary does not acept the parameters (custon port sources from a file)

the service name and the init daemon works as i posted in second comment, but due the nature of the executable, does not permit control, reload or parse custom parameters..

from microsocks.

the key point of my answer (but maybe it was not clear since i didn't state it explicitly) is that there are so many ways you can background a task via standard tools that i don't see the need to add the functionality to microsocks itself.
if you want to background it for the duration of your computer's uptime, i'd recommend you just start screen, and then launch microsocks from within that screen session, then close the terminal. if you want to have it booted automatically on startup, use a systemd service.

yeah, it works with noup, also with screen, but only if i do manually.. i mean if i put in other script and try to automatically pass arguments, seems do not work.. dont worry, too busy for simple task.. thanks in any case.

hey solved! was a stupid misctake, the parse variable for the arguments was different, i could not see due i use a remote screen so image are blurry and well..

i made a debian package if interesting.. for Debian 7, 8, and 9, for debian 6, 5, and 4 too bit at venenux mail list.. here-s the procedure to install:

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Avegnuli%3Ainternet&package=microsocks

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vegnuli:/internet/Debian_$(lsb_release -s -r | cut -d . -f 1).0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:vegnuli:internet.list
apt-get update
apt-get install microsocks
