Hello,

I have just experienced a problem with detachtty on my VPS, namely that
forking a child process (LaTeX) from an SBCL instance did not work
("couldn't fork a child process-cannot allocate memory"). OTOH, with
sbcl running under screen everything works. Did anyone observe this,
too, or does someone know what could be the reason (and maybe even
propose a solution)? Otherwise, I'll just switch to screen.

Thanks,

Nicolas

"cannot allocate memory" problem might be caused by ulimit settings.
Maybe they are different under detachtty and screen for some reason?
E.g. different shell environment?

I think it is best not to use any screen or detachtty - it is a
kludge.
With SBCL on Linux I use "pure lisp" demon.
My code: http://github.com/archimag/restas/blob/master/contrib/restas-daemon.lisp

You can easily adapt it to fit your needs.
