Run as daemon help

emit is a server that will stream video to your Android phone[1]. I have a mostly-working package for emit in the AUR[2]. However, despite my best efforts, I can not get the program to run as a daemon.

I have tried both the way upstream has it, using "start-stop-daemon", and with the Arch /etc/rc.d method[3]. In all cases, the program runs briefly, long enough to create a .pid in /var/run, but then exits silently almost immediately.

I've sent a message upstream, but if anyone can take a look and get daemon mode working, that would be fantastic.

Outside of not being able to run as a daemon, it seems to be working well.
