Comment #2 on issue 240 by [email protected]: -d with local -P fail
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=240
Pinging back here...
The reason why a local pidfile doesn't work with daemonize is because it
chdir's to / after fork'ing, unless you specify a nonzero maxcore.
So giving it a full path will still work... and -P already works without -d.
I'm trying to convince myself to not punt for another release, but I might.
Doing this correctly is a fair amount of rewiring and we're about to look
at the 1.6 tree again, so I'd like to avoid writing even more core code to
port.
IE: We'd have to keep the parent process around listening on a pipe and
shuttle errors/commands around, which means we can't call perror anymore,
blah blah.
