0000383: daemons should go in background and leave the console free.

If anything, there should at least be a command-line flag for triggering that behavior, though perhaps the start-stop-daemon utility might do the job.

A script is the proper way to do that, not the app itself. Among other things, is absolutely impossible to do that on a proper multiplatform way. So, I close this and wait for someone to write a linux script for it :)

no wait.

you can't demand script to do that, stop-start-daemon is a gentoo thing, and however it's not the right way to set.

every daemon (ex: snort) has a command line option (like
-d o -D) to switch to demonized way.

i think it's very very useful and needed for amule.
script demanding may be too subjected to distro and os.

"stop-start-daemon is a gentoo thing"
No, it's not.

ok...but it's the same problem...depending on an external app that we can bypass

start-stop daemon is something linux has since years ago. Check i.e. /etc/init.d on debian.

We can't make a switch because that option can't work multiplatform way. So no option.
