As I said to Thomas in private email, Unix daemons are not so easy to do. What he posted was clever hackup code, suitable for debugging, and very good demonstration of using dbms_pipe. However, such code is far from being production quality and is full of potential gotcha's.

It's unfortunate that Oracle 7 forces you to such lengths, but if you do want to go down this path, then please spend a lot of care on the Unix daemon side of things. Treat Thomas's code as a guideline. Your database will love you, in the long run :-)
