Need a 'no-daemonize' option for '/bin/mailman start'

[Steve Burling]

The version of Mailman distributed with Apple's Mac OS X Server has a hacked up mailmanctl, primarily to support not daemonizing in the launchd environment. (I think). Their hack is ugly, and it'd be nice if it was made unnecessary.

I'm supportive of adding a --no-daemonize option (or equivalent) to the Mailman 3 'bin/mailman start' command.

I haven't yet gotten my hands on a copy of Mac OS X Server 10.6, but am hoping to do so early next year. If that materializes, I can take another look at what atrocities Apple may have committed, and report back.

I've decided to set this to Won't Fix because in Mailman 3, bin/mailman start is little more than a wrapper around bin/master, which does not daemonize. This has all been refactored for simplicity so if you really wanted a no-daemonizing 'bin/mailman start', you really should just be calling 'bin/master' instead.
