   if you’re setting command_background=true in openrc, please, reconsider and use supervisor=supervise-daemon instead

     @navi Seems like command_background is only used by start-stop-daemon so it's effectively a no-op for other supervisors?

     @lanodan yeap, `command_background` is only used to tell s-s-d that the daemon does not fork by itself, so s-s-d should double-fork
     
     supervise-daemon obviously expect the daemon to not fork, so it's start/stop function don't use that variable at all

     @navi Makes sense, and well to me s-s-d is somewhat legacy, at least when it comes to daemons.

     @lanodan i wish we could default to supervise-daemon, but that would break a ton of scripts so no-go
     
     best i can do is update every guide to say "hey, if you can, please use supervise-daemon"

     @navi Yeah, although maybe one-shots could be made explicit so start-stop-daemon usage would be somewhat visible?
     
     And I guess s-s-d + command_background could throw a warning? (Either in OpenRC or in gentoo Q&A tools)
