I have what may seem like a small problem but its not obvious to me.
I have a script that I forked and that part works fine, it forks,
tells me the pid like I wanted, and keeps running. Well, the
problem that was not apparent to me until about 3 days ago when I
was wondering why the script(my php chat server) was crashing at
seeminly random times. I finally figured out that when I logged
out of my shell in linux, the talker would go down as well.
Obviously I don't want that but what do I need to add to the line
when i start the script
Example1 on the php docs page is what you need:

The important thing is the call to posix_setsid(), which detaches
your forked process from your terminal process. Works great for me -
I've had PHP daemons running for over 9 months without a break.
