systemd seems to prefer non-forking daemons. I have a few
custom-written daemons that I will be running on 12.2 with systemd, and
although they have the option of not forking (usually for debugging
purposes), I was just wondering what the "correct" or at least most
appropriate behaviour is.
I.e. for sysVinit:
daemon is started, forks, drops privileges, closes stdin/out/err,
setsid(), and it's running.
For systemd:
daemon is started, drops privileges, closes stdin/out/err?, setsid()?
and it's running.
