Yes, daemons usually close their relations to the terminal and then set 
their controlling tty to be /dev/null, among other set-up operations. 
This ensures they won't get terminal-related signals.

What I don't know is if the parent process finds out that the child 
process closed the connection to the terminal.

Then again, if it's a daemon, it'll fork(), so the sentinel will exit 
after it's only child does.
