2002-01-26Patch from Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@asu.edu>. From theEric Andersen
start-stop-daemon man page: -b|--background Typically used with programs that don't detach on their own. This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting the process, and force it into the background. WARNING: start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for it to do this itself. This is usefull for applets like watchdog
