'C Linux deamon only doing one iteration of a main loop
I have created a deamon for linux in C. It is meant to copy contents of folder A to folder B in 5 seconds intervals. Child process only copies the contents once and dies.
pid_t pid, sid;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0)
{
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (pid > 0)
{
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
umask(0);
sid = setsid();
if (sid < 0)
{
/* Log the failure */
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
close(STDIN_FILENO);
close(STDOUT_FILENO);
close(STDERR_FILENO);
while (1)
{
serialize(argv[1], argv[2]);
sleep(5);
}
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
Any help would be great! :)
