Here's the problem... If I compile the program with this code.. it just 
crashes, but if i comment this out it compiles and runs fine even though 
it's not running as it's suppose to be...

/* some code here*/

switch (fork()) {
    case -1:
      printf("Couldn't run in background, exiting...\n");
      exit(1);
      break;
    case 0:
      break;
    default:
      printf("Running in background...\n");
      exit(0);
      break;
  }
/* other stuff*/
