detached ra collection?

[Joe Christy]

I run ra outside my firewall and, for security reasons, would like to 
automoagically archive the the collected data on a machine inside. It 
seems like "ra -S firewall -w secure-archive" would be just the thing, 
if I could run ra, *detached* from its parent process, launched from an 
init script (which would also send it a sigterm to flush its buffers at 
system shutdown).

Poring over the documentation and a little experimentation hasn't 
yielded a simple minded way to do this.

Surely someone else has faced this problem, so before I hack a perl 
wrapper to fork() and setsid() an ra, I thought I'd ask if this 
particular whell has already been invented.
