I wanted to write a process which monitors the exit status of the daemon,

The Main process would fork a service, which would internally fork a child

and , exit from the process. If main process wants to query the status of
the daemon, how it can be achived.

For ex :
Process A would call a syslog service, which would internally fork a

child, daemon it and exit, so if process A wants to wait for the syslog
process, is it possible.

waitpid()

signal()

WIFEXITED
WEXITSTATUS

doubt --
wait and waitpid will be for the parent process to wait for its child.
but for a daemon the parent is init .
so the exit status should be sent to init and not to his process. then
how does he get the exit status
