[Freeswitch-users] How is -ncwait supposed to work?

[Nathan Neulinger]

Found the problem... It doesn't work as implemented if you're using "-u" and launching freeswitch initially as root - 
problem is that the parent process is still running as root, child is running as the less privileged user, and can't 
send SIGUSR2 to the parent.

The issue is that in src/switch.c main() - daemonize() is called prior to change_user_group(), just prior to the code 
that sets the priority.

I'll put a Jira issue in with a suggested fix.
