I use something like this:
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
pid_t pid = -1;
pid = fork();
if (pid > 0) {
// Parent
} else {
if (pid == 0) {
setsid();
close(0);
close(1);
close(2);
chdir("/");
umask(0);
}
signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
return child_main();
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
(the code has been changed a bit, error handling removed etc.)
and in child_main threads are created.
It might be that you are just missing the setsid call?
