Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] Don't detach batmand to background by default

Hi Sven,

thanks a lot for addressing this issue by sending your patch. Although I'm not too happy about the chosen approach. Changing the default behaviour and adding a new command line option seems not to be the best solution. Do you think we can put this exec call into batman itself and thus hiding this ulibc thread disaster ?
