Here is something I wrote a few years ago. I still have this running on
my system today...

Until recently, I was using screen also, but I have now switched over to
a new start/stop script. I run OpenBSD 4.3 & 4.5 on most of my boxes.
Once configured, this shell script can start/stop/status the given process.
I have been told that this does not start a /true/ daemon. But for me
it is close enough.
change the 4 variables at the top, just under the set -e line, and you
should have it.
Let me know if you have any problems.
