In fact, I would even suggest that all that checking should be done before the -d processing, before the fork. So even daemons should fail with invalid settings. I once had an issue with my daemon because I had a typo when changing my memcached.conf settings and even though memcached started up and my monitoring didn't notice anything wrong, it was not usable. Failing to start would have been a dead giveaway. -- "Be excellent to each other"
