Hello! Happy new year to all people at the BIRD list. I've returned from holidays and started processing the huge piles of mail which I've received, so it will probably take a couple of days for me to get to your questions and bug reports.

Where should I look to find the code that forks bird into the background on startup? I don't want it to fork. Instead I want to fork it into the background myself from another program.

You can find it in sysdep/unix/main.c in main(). Have a nice fortnight -- Martin `MJ' Mares <mj@ucw.cz> http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mj/ Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Rep., Earth The first myth of management is that it exists.
