Package: diald
Version: 0.99.1-0.2
Severity: normal
man diald(8) claims:
-daemon
Don't run in daemon mode. This means that the the
standard input, standard output, and standard error
output are not closed, that all messages are logged
to the standard error as well as the syslog facil
ity, and that the diald program does not fork
itself into the background. This is mostly useful
when you are running the debugging mode and you
want to see what is happening.
In fact messages are logged only to syslog and not to standard error.
I have not found this an inconvenience, rather just confusing.
Perhaps the manual page only needs to be corrected.
diald 0.16.5-3 operates as documented.
