Try putting the "&" in command_args; that way it'll only be used during

thanks to you and the others posters for the & trick.
It works, but as you say it smells hackish. For one, it doesn't detach
from the controlling tty. Not a big deal when run from init I think, but
it may make a difference when run multiuser from a terminal (say myprog
forcestart).
anyway, better than nothing ;-)
The daemon(8) page claims it detaches from the tty. You may also want to
use the -f argument to redirect stdio. If it isn't working properly,
please file a PR, thanks!
