Hello, I run a webserver which is a frontend for a huge PostgreSQL database. Now I like to code some stand-alone Apps, which can connect to a daemon uploading files and geting infos from the database (NO, the have no right to connect directly to the database) Questions for now:

    1)  How to code a daemon?

This would be a good place to start. http://www.php.net/pcntl Depending on your app you might need to look at shared memory, but the main area to check out would be the process functions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php

    2)  How to use ssl-certs for the connection?
        The $USER must use an USB-Key with its one cert.

There are ssl functions you can use: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
