Re: [sr-dev] Patches to get proper status code in daemonize mode

Hi Iñaki,

i've not yet looked into your patch, if its not that invasive and fairly easy to implement (as mentioned in later messages) its fine with me. Implementing it in the init script would be indeed more like a workaround. It would not help in the case when the daemon gets started directly.

Hi Henning, IMHO it's not invasive (in fact I've seen similar pipe mechanism in other servers). Please take a look to the patches (is very few code). However note that Marius has fixed a small bug (a fd closed twice by the main process) and has also added a select() to allow timeout when the parent process reads from the pipe.

Thanks a lot.
