(This message wil lbe of no help.) Ah, that is the "moving target" problem I was talking about. In the old days, the "inetd" spawned processes as per-service daemons once it got a trigger (connection) to a port. It worked well in the 90s, including on my... Amiga 500. That is essentially what the OP is looking for, and what a sad way to do it with the directory structure. Progress is not always... forward.
