Subject: [PATCH v2] arpd/ifstat/nstat/rtacct: use daemon()
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2009 06:04:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257505479-13631-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1257344795-8665-3-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org>

A bunch of misc utils basically reimplement the daemon() function (the
whole fork/close/chdir/etc...).  Rather than do that, use daemon() as
that will work under nommu Linux systems that lack fork().
