Changes:        23rd Jan 2009 (David Mytton <david@boxedice.com>)
                - Replaced hard coded '/dev/null in __init__ with os.devnull
                - Added OS check to conditionally remove code that doesn't
                  work on OS X
                - Added output to console on completion
                - Tidied up formatting
                11th Mar 2009 (David Mytton <david@boxedice.com>)
                - Fixed problem with daemon exiting on Python 2.4
                  (before SystemExit was part of the Exception base)
                13th Aug 2010 (David Mytton <david@boxedice.com>
                - Fixed unhandled exception if PID file is empty
