Absolutely, daemon probably isn't the right word, fully detached process
would probably be better.
Although Apache is a daemon, but if the main apache process dies then it
won't automatically restart by itself will it (it relies on
start-stop-daemon or the like).
Anyway, thought the code may help someone in the future.
Cheers,
