Bug#366370: hald dies upon startup

[Arias Hung]

On Mon, 08 May 2006, Sjoerd Simons delivered in simple text monotype:

# hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes
17:29:12.443 [I] hald.c:469: hal 0.5.7
17:29:12.443 [I] hald.c:478: Will daemonize
17:29:12.443 [I] hald.c:479: Becoming a daemon

What happens if you run with --daemon=no --verbose=yes ?

<---snip--->

Nothing happens.  It doesn't like it enough to provide the flags menu:

# hald --daemon=no --verbose=y

usage : hald [--daemon=yes|no] [--verbose=yes|no] [--help]

        --daemon=yes|no      Become a daemon
        --verbose=yes|no     Print out debug (overrides HALD_VERBOSE)
        --use-syslog         Print out debug messages to syslog instead of 
stderr.
                             Use this option to get debug messages if HAL runs 
as
                             daemon.
        --help               Show this information and exit
        --version            Output version information and exit
The HAL daemon detects devices present in the system and provides the
org.freedesktop.Hal service through the system-wide message bus provided
by D-BUS.
