Package: irda-utils
Version: 0.9.16-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

The irattach program always forks to background. There should be a
command line option which makes the fork_now() call in irattach.c
conditional.

I consider this a normal bug instead of a wishlist bug, because an
unconditional fork is a bad idea since it prevents irattach to be
used with service supervisors like daemontools or runit. An option
to log to stdout instead of syslog would also be nice in
conjunction with this.

Regards,
Tino
