Bug #45588	ndb_mgmd outputs to logs but not to console without --nodaemon

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Cluster: Cluster (NDB) storage engine	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	mysql-5.1-telco-7.0	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:	jack andrews	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
unless --nodaemon, ndb_mgmd won't show output to console.

How to repeat:
.

ndbd.exe and ndb_mgmd.exe are not --nodaemon be default.
as it makes no sense to run an exe as a service from the
command line, lets make --nodaemon set by default
(when not running as a service)

Ok, go ahead and write a patch.

bzr barfed on the post-commit mail, so pasting diff here

Ok to push in to 7.0

the windows user doesn't need to worry about the --daemon/--nodaemon command line switches so maybe document these features as unix only.  and the main change is that ndbd and ndb_mgmd now behaves like mysqld -- it runs in the foreground by default.

Documented bugfix in the NDB-7.0.8 changelog as follows:

        Previously, the MySQL Cluster management node and data node 
        programs, when run on Windows platforms, required the --nodaemon 
        option in order to produce console output. Now, these programs 
        run in the foreground by default when invoked from the command 
        line  on Windows, which is the same behavior that mysqld.exe 
        displays on Windows.

forgot to fix ndb_mgmd behaviour.
notice this is double maintenance.
in my patch for my_daemon, these
common opts were put in one file.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

      Bug #45588 ndb_mgmd outputs to logs but not to console without --nodaemon
        . previous fix only fixed ndbd, this fix does ndb_mgmd

Already documented, error in original fix caught before release, so nothing new to document. Closed without further action.
