Re: [Ipmitool-devel] [PATCH v2] Added system support to ipmievd

[Jan S. <jsa...@re...>]

Hi,

instead of adding systemd code to ipmitool, I tried to find out what is
really wrong with impievd so systemd cannot start it. It's quite
difficult to debug systemd and a daemon together, but finally I got results.

It turns out that the ipmievd does not fork() at all if it is started
under PID=1. That was the last thing I would expect :), that's why it
took so much time, I was looking for bugs elsewhere.

Attached you can find another patch, now it's very simple and without
any copyright notices.

Is there any other init system, which starts service with parent PID=1?
I.e. does the patch break anything?

Jan
