You don't need to daemonize

You can run a daemon-like process with its stdin/out firmly attached to a TTY: a virtual TTY inside a screen or tmux session that can be detached and reattached.

As was pointed out a few days ago, if the output stream exerts backpressure, write calls will stall. Stopping scrolling at the output end is enough to do that.

But that's the whole point of screen and tmux—It's always got a terminal to suck up stdout.
