From: Edwin Török <edwin.to...@cloud.com>
By default stderr gets redirected to /dev/null because oxenstored daemonizes
itself.
This must be a left-over from pre-systemd days.
In ee7815f49f ("tools/oxenstored: Set uncaught exception handler") a workaround
was added to log exceptions
directly to syslog to cope with standard error being lost.
However it is better to not lose standard error (what if the connection to
syslog itself fails, how'd we log that?),
and use the '--no-fork' flag to do that.
This flag is supported by both C and O versions of xenstored.
Both versions also call sd_notify so there is no need for forking.
Leave the default daemonize as is so that xenstored keeps working on non-Linux
systems as before.
