Description

Introduce a light weight event thread dedicated to watching directories with inotify/kqueue and flushing the logs. Currently these are performed by the daemon spinning around a 1 second delay and calling out.

Should convert daemon to modern signal handling while I'm adding an event_base to the primary thread.

  • Resolution set to incomplete
  • Status changed from new to closed

I don't see the advantage of doing that in the main thread compared to a lightweight thread? It's not as if the main thread's doing anything else with those cycles.
