[PATCH] Allow PID file to be written in foreground mode

Pontus Fuchs pontus.fuchs
Tue Dec 11 02:02:05 PST 2012


I wanted hostapd to write a PID file in foreground mode but I found
that it couldn't that. I will silently ignore the -P option when -B
is not specified on the command line.

Fix this by moving the PID file writing from os_daemonize to a new
function.
