uclinux does not have daemon(). Perhaps the first few lines might help
clear up any language barriers as to why not:

 int daemon( int nochdir, int noclose )
{
        int fd;
 
        switch (fork()) {
                case -1:
                        return(-1);
                case 0:
                        break;
                default:
                        _exit(0);
        }

because uclinux does not have fork(), daemon will just return -1, and do
nothing. Most uclinux libraries don't even have daemon.c compiled in.

that'd be great if it worked under uclinux.
