[AWS] *NIX daemons using AWS

[Peter Fedorow]

I figure I should clarify what I'm asking.

How much of what should be done when writing a *nix daemon in C,
Pascal, or Perl, applies to writing one in Ada?

How should a process written in Ada fork?

Are there any already written libraries or code examples to do this? 
It seems like a fairly commonly task.  I searched on Google, but I
couldn't find anything relevant.

Regards,
Peter
