Daemonize a Qt console app

[Merlino]

Hello,

which is the right way to "daemonize" a Qt application?

... yeah, although that particular lazy chap hasn't yet fixed and merged the v2.0 changes ... someday before I die, hopefully ... ;)

Qt does not provide anything in itself to daemonize a Qt application. You need to use something platform specific. Or a library that wraps it like suggested.

If you want to support a single platform, just do it in the "right" way for that particular platform independent of Qt.
