From: David Goulet Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 17:34:14 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix: don't use daemon() to daemonize X-Git-Tag: v2.4.0-rc1~52 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0bb7724acebb12e986b55e04f13233710d8c71fa;p=lttng-tools.git Fix: don't use daemon() to daemonize This is done because now we can control when the parent should return from the fork(). With this patch, it only returns when the session daemon is ready to operate meaning it can receive commands. The daemonize process for the child mimicks daemon(3) as in it sets the setsid, chdir to / and dup 0, 1 and 2 into /dev/null.
