<p>Hi all</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Chronosync uses ndn-cxx logging facility (wrapper around boost logging facility).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Now I want to use NLSR based on Chronosync (instead of the old fork, Nsync).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>NLSR has the option to daemonize. So I start nfd and run nlsr -d to daemonize NLSR (number of threads 2).</p>
<p>Then I stop NFD and NLSR gets an error (<span>ERROR: error while receiving data from socket (End of file)</span>).</p>
<p>But ps shows that NLSR is still running, with number of threads as 1.</p>
<p>I attach gdb to it and have attached the bt output.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I do not have this problem when NLSR is not daemonized.</p>
<p>Seems like it is happening because boost logging facility does not support fork:</p>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>Any suggestions or comments?</p>
<p>(I am not sure why NLSR runs as daemon, <a href="https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1795" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk716276" previewremoved="true">https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1795</a> does not provide much rationale other than backgrounding.
Also NLSR does not close stdout when daemonizing</p>
