IMO the background process should be an usual daemon: http://www.steve.org.uk/Reference/Unix/faq_2.html#SEC16 (you may even use something like start-stop-daemon on debian bases systems) If you need a restart control (e.g. if the process die), considering a very simple daemon that starts the working process as a direct child, wait() on them and restart it whenever it returns. This controlling process may even provide a socket/named pipe interface to control.
