the '-d' option for boa is a no-op in uClinux, the fork call is #ifdef'd
out. Just using "boa &" will do the job.
This is true with the old version (0.93) The NIOS uClinux-dist by
default activated boa by "boa &"
When they moved to 0.94 this resulted in an error message and I needed
to change the script to do "boa -d &". During the research I found that
boa is supposed to auto-daemonze without the -d switch and did try to do
just "boa", but it did not work,
BTW, all "daemon" applications
in uClinux that I know of are backgrounded this way to work around the
fork limitation.
In fact I suppose it makes sense to do auto-daeminizing code in an
application only to save the users some work when calling the
application _not_ from a shell. With a shell you always can use the "&".
