Description
On older Linux systems, or on distributions that do not use systemd/upstart, or on BSD systems, it may be useful to implement the "old-style" daemon initialization scheme with double forking, as described here under the SysV Daemons subsection.
libdaemon MAY be used to implement this feature.
In any case, as the linked document points out, the old-style behavior MUST be optional and configurable via a command line argument.
