Origo alpha launched

Posted April 19th, 2007 by Patrick Ruckstuhl

Yesterday the first alpha version of origo has been launched. Origo is a platform for distributed development and user interaction. It is built on a middleware architecture that uses JXTA and is written in Eiffel. This middleware provides an xmlrpc api which is used by a website to access and update data.

Daemon howto

On Unix/Linux a daemon is a program that runs in the background independent from the logged in user.

The way to achieve this is normally to directly fork after the execution and let the parent process exit. This results in the child process having lost its parent which leads to the init process automatically inheriting this process.

As some of you might know, I'm at the moment working on my Master thesis and I'm building the core for Origo (http://origo.ethz.ch).
