Re: [sr-dev] git:master: core: daemon status/pipe fixes & interface changes

core: daemon status/pipe fixes & interface changes

• moved most of the daemon status stuff to daemonize.[ch].
• nicer interface (e.g. daemon_status_send(code))
• send/read only 1 byte which will be used as exit code
• send an error status on error (fixes

"Main process exited before writing to pipe" error message)

• disabled the timeout.  Not needed (now a status is sent always

and even an unlikely process crash before sending it is detected via  the read() failure) and very hard to find a good value (some  setups start very slow).

• close the pipe "send" fd in processes not needing it
• attempt to send back status only if dont_daemonize is not set

(not only if dont_fork==0, it is possible to have forking  enabled, but daemonize disabled: ser -DD)

• BSDed daemonize.[ch] and pt.[ch]

Awesome :)
