Re: [Freeciv-Dev] backgrounding civserver causes weird problems

[Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows@xxxxxxxxx>]

  I had a patch for this a long time ago.

  Basically it allowed the server to fork to the background, either at startup
or during play.  My patch, though, is against 1.7.2..

  I've attached it in the hope that it is useful :)  It obviously doesn't
handle commands too well.  The main other thing it seems to do is to modify
quit_game() to not explicitly exit; instead it just shuts down connections and
autosaves the state.  This is then used in a signal handler to let us do
something sane if we get killed.
