From 743edac6c84ac207d0bb4c3124b0e8fe450a38b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 19:44:37 +0100 Subject: bb_daemonize_or_rexec(): add flag to double-fork; use it in start-stop-daemon Add a DAEMON_DOUBLE_FORK flag to make bb_daemonize double-fork so it isn't a session leader, and hence doesn't get a controlling tty on Linux if a tty is ever opened, similar to how libdaemon's daemon_fork or the big start-stop-daemon does it - And use it in start-stop-daemon.
