add foreground mode to aid systemd service

[robert-budde]

In order to use a very sleek systemd service sh.py should not fork while still being not too verbose on logging. Not forking allows systemd to monitor the process without using an additional pid-file.

Marcus, any thoughts on this one?

Maybe -f could be avoided. Example:

• -d runs sh.py in background, without verbose.
• -v runs sh.py in foreground, with verbose.
• -d -v runs sh.py in background, with verbose. Simply specifying nothing should run sh.py in foreground, without verbose mode enabled.

Sure. This would be the most straightforward way of doing things. But it would break compatibility with all existing installations. I assume that this is not going to happen, therfore I proposed a less intrusive way.

Hi,

I will not merge changes to the base system, because I'm going to adapt the license. And if there are other contributors I cannot change it without asking them.

I'm going to send an email to the contributors/developers to discuss this topic.

Regards

Marcus
