daemon process

Is it possible to create a daemon style process on Symbian ? I'm writing an app that needs to connect out to the internet periodically in the background. I guess it must be possible as the POP3 email client does periodic checking. Anyone got any pointers ? Also, is it possible to connect out without bringing up the "select-a-conenction" dialog as the 7650 brings this up every time I try to connect the socket.

thanks

Take a look at the ClientServer examples on the SDK. That would maybe answer your question.
