Jan,
In looking at the man pages for init, init(5) in particular, there is an init
script option
"expect fork" which you must use if the job's main process will fork. So,
if anyone is
using an init script to start up ipmievd today your change will require them to
change
their init script to use "expect fork". Otherwise, init won't be monitoring
the correct
process and the current init script won't work correctly.

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?
