LaunchServices / SMJobSubmit will directly do the right thing for you (launch the process in the correct context). No need to double fork and kill the parent. In Mac OS X, using daemon(3) or doing the moral equivalent by calling fork() and having the parent process exit() is discouraged in favor of using launchd. Note that SMJobSubmit if the equivalent API of the launchctl command mentioned by Greg.
