On GNU/Linux systems, I would simply use "nohup emacs --fg-daemon &", 
which starts the daemon in foreground, detaches it from the terminal, and 
writes the output to a "nohup.out" file.  Or "nohup emacs --fg-daemon &> 
emacs-daemon.log &" to redirect output to the file "emacs-daemon.log" 
instead of "nohup.out".
