2023-10-12	Add flag to run in the foregroundgentoo	Wolfgang Müller	-1/+5
	slowcgi already has the -d flag to disable forking, but that particular flag also stops slowcgi from logging to syslog and is intended for debugging purposes. Ordinarily this would be fine, but sadly we know of no clean way to track the PID of a forked process with Gentoo's OpenRC and its start-stop-daemon(8). We could add support to write a pidfile instead, but since we want to support multiple invocations of slowcgi through OpenRC and ${RC_SVCNAME}, we need a way of specifying the pidfile location in the init script itself. To solve this reasonably cleanly, add a flag that only controls whether or not the program daemonizes or not. Make sure to mention this in the manual too.

	Andrew Daugherity (andrew.daugherity AT gmail) pointed out that this is helpful for his port to linux. For example on openSUSE nginx and Apache run as different users so a compile time default user won't cut it. Man page tweaks jmc@ While here, consistently log users at debug level; from Andrew.
