Description

The relayd spawned by lttng-create command don't close the file descriptor such like stdout.
Why not spawn the relayd with "--daemonize" option.

No particular reason that I know of. I think it's mostly due to the fact that the client wouldn't log errors that cause the relay daemon to fail to launch if --daemonize was used.

It would be an improvement for sure, but the client would need to synchronize with the relay daemon somehow to report early launch errors.

Ok, I found a way to work around, just lanuching relayd with deamon option firstly before the session creation.
