leaves this last issue...

if I use the above to start it up

/root/relaydelay-0.04/relaydelay.pl &

then it outputs to terminal I ran it from.

If I use

/root/relaydelay-0.04/relaydelay.pl 2>&1

then I don't get the terminal back at all - as if it hasn't forked. I
need to have this run as a service without output to a terminal and
obviously run without a terminal connection at all. How do I do this?
