Change apr_proc_detach to take a parameter that can enable/disable automatic
forking (aka, to "daemonize"). Detailed explanation: If we are only interested in detaching from the controlling terminal, then we are only interested in creating a new process group (or creating a new session, which implicitly creates a new process group). In order to do so, we must _NOT_ already be a process group leader. The only way to ensure that is true, we normally will call fork() and allow the parent to exit, ensuring that the child is at least a child of a process group leader (and not one itself). Doing this by default prevents some process-watching tools from working with Apache. Therefore, when calling apr_proc_detach with APR_PROC_DETACH_FOREGROUND, the caller is taking responsibility for _NOT_ being a process group leader, which is guaranteed by such process management tools. [A similiar patch was originally submitted Jos and later modifed by Aaron.] Obtained from: Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com> Submitted by: Aaron Bannert git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk@63044 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68
