Some packages (ab)use s-s-d to invoke a binary under a different account without creating syslog entries that might be confusing to users, and when that binary returns an exit code, we'd like to see it. For example, /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base uses s-s-d to invoke exim_tidydb as Debian-eim. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

If it does not support daemonization and we are using s-s-d's background option then we can only get the exit code if we keep the parent s-s-d running and waiting for the child, and then I don't understand why we would want to use the background option.
