             Summary: Log4j2 TcpSocketServer in background
                 Key: LOG4J2-1604
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1604
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.6.2
         Environment: Linux geotst01 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec

I've been using the log4j version 1 SocketServer in background without problem. 
Changing to the TcpSocketServer works in foreground, but when I put it in the 
background, it shuts down. I've managed to get it working redirecting input 
from /dev/zero but as this will give continuous nulls, I'm not sure it's an 
ideal solution:

exec $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp 
$LIB_DIR/log4j-api-2.6.2.jar:$LIB_DIR/log4j-core-2.6.2.jar \
    org.apache.logging.log4j.core.net.server.TcpSocketServer \
    ${LOGPORT} ${BASEDIR}/etc/log4j2.xml  </dev/zero >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Is the code intended to be used in background and, if yes what's the 
recommended way to launch TcpSocketServer? Could a parameter be added to make 
it a daemon not needing input?
