relative paths don't work when tracd is daemonized

[anonymous]

Tracd works erratically when daemonized if the directory parameter ( -e option ) is a relative path.

This is the intended behaviour, by looking at the code, but documentation should explicitly mention that relative paths do not work when tracd is daemonized.

Yes, the problem comes from the daemonizing process changing the working directory to the root directory. However, I think we can translate the path options to absolute paths before daemonizing to avoid this altogether.

[mgood]

Fixed in r4721 and r4722.

This is still a problem with --basic-auth arguments, if the path to htpasswd is relative.

[mgood]

Ok, the auth and parent dir paths have also been fixed in r4726 and r4727.

[mgood]

The --pidfile option is now also fixed in r4728:r4729 and r4730.

I also added some sanity checking, since the relative paths can't easily be corrected when using --daemonize with --autoreload.

Replying to mgood:

... when using --daemonize with --autoreload.

Does that even make sense? If not, I'd suggest to make them mutually exclusive, so they're not mixed by accident.
