Well. Just because I always thought one should close all file
descriptors while daemonizing a process.

Just like here:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/278731/

Lines 160-164.

If one would like to keep logging configuration in a file (like me),
what is supposed to do? Not to close FDs? Or just start logging after
daemonizing (and know absolute location of the logging configuration file)?

Or maybe is there any way to close FD for a logfile, daemonize and
reopen FD again?

;-) Am I clear now?

Kind regards,
