We already do that with -D which ignores "debug" for example. The command line purposely has precedence over the config. > however, we could > exit with an error when we try to start with -Ws + -D or daemon. Errors only cause gray hair to users, especially when they concern stuff that can be automatically recovered from. We could definitely consider that -Ws automatically implies MODE_FOREGROUND which will do exactly what -db does, but without having to think about it. After all, "-Ws" is "master-worker mode with systemd awareness" so it makes sense not to background in this case. Willy
