Yes, currently the GIFT is not a daemon.

/root/gift or /root/shell? If it's /root/shell, you should rather do:

gift 12790 /root/shell

And something else. *Please* don't run GIFT as root, if you can avoid it! 
This is a suggestion that applies to about every server. It applies unless 
you run it local while you're off the wire.

You know, the thing is, as I am german, your german accent has to be much 
much worse before I realize, so that's no problem for me ;-)

Thanks for trying, and I hope you find the right solution. Don't hesitate to 
write another mail here.
