On AIX every executable can be "daemonized" by the SRC (System Resource
Controller).

If the "daemon" not detaches, it is started (and in case of dying
immediatly restarted) by the SRC.

man mkssys
man startsrc
man stopsrc

Create an entry in SRC with mkssys and then start it startsrc -s <entryname>

Syntax

mkssys {-p Path -s Subsystem -u UserID }
[ -a Arguments ] [ -e StandardError ]
[-i StandardInput ] [ -o StandardOutput ]
[ -t Synonym ] [ -O | -R ] [ -d | -D ]
[ -q | -Q]
[-K | [ -I MessageQueue -m MessageMType |
-f StopForce -n StopNormal -S ] ]
[ -E Nice ] [-G Group ] [ -w Wait ]

For example I start the sshd with

mkssys -p /usr/sbin/sshd -s sshd -u 0 \
-a " -D" -e /dev/null -i /dev/null -o /dev/null \
-R -S -f 9 -n 15 -G tcpip

So the "/usr/sbin/sshd -D" isn't detached so that the SRC can watch the
process id.

SSHD is started with "startsrc -s sshd"

look at /etc/rc.tcpip script or /etc/inittab how it is started at boot time.
