bin/couchdb does not honour -o and -e when running in foreground / without -d
(matters on macosx)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-278
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build System, Database Core
Environment: any *nix
Reporter: Florian Ebeling
Fix For: 0.8.1, 0.9
When couchdb is running in foreground, then the option flags -o and -e are not
honoured. This probably quite ok on most systems because foregroud there equals
roughly to development mode. On the mac this is different, because fork and
daemoinze calls are deprecated, services are managed using launchd, and launchd
watches these processes directly. It depends on these processes not
(double-)forking and intentionally dying.
So in the current state of things the provided plist starts couchdb, quite
consequentially does not use -o/e and. That works, but has the effect that
couchdb writes to stdout, which launchd apparently forwards to syslog. So the
syslog ends up being hogged by access-log level messages. And it is not
possible to avoid that by simply editing the quasi config file .plist.
I will attach a patch which changes bin/couchdb, .plist, and etc/Makefile.am to
make this work more like I reckon it should.
