I remember writing a much more elaborate version for Zope:

I'll note that we (Zope Corp.) have continued to use this package, and have been successful making some truely ill-behaved programs work well as daemons. It would be wonderful to see something like this as part of the standard library.

I think the only real complaint I have about the package is that the command-line processing module (zdaemon.zdoptions) shouldn't be part of the package, but should be somewhere else. That shouldn't be hard to achieve, though.
