"accel-cmd reload" can't work properly when accel-pppd works in deamon mode

[nktaozhenyu]

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a L2TP Server on the Centos7.3 by using accel-pppd.
I'm having issues with "accel-cmd reload" command. It can work well in
normal mode without "-d" parameter specified,but alway failed when
"-d" parameter specified.But other accel-cmd command(such as show stat)
don't act like this.

  Details are as follows:
  1)OS： CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) 
     GCC：8.2.0
     accel-pppd： lastest version(https://codeload.github.com/xebd/accel-ppp/zip/master)、
                             1.11.2（https://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/accel-ppp/accel-ppp-1.11.2.tar.bz2） 
     compile parameter：cmake -DBUILD_DRIVER=FALSE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-g -O0 -ggdb3" -DLOG_PGSQL=FALSE -DSHAPER=TRUE -DRADIUS=TRUE -DNETSNMP=FALSE ..

  2) reload failed but show stat worked well. 

[root@centos-test bin]# ./accel-cmd reload
failed
[root@centos-test bin]# ./accel-cmd show sessions
ifname | username | calling-sid | ip | type | comp | state | uptime
--------+----------+-------------+----+------+------+-------+--------

  3）I can't find any userful information in Log files ,but I put them here.

Hi, can you show running process? ps ax | grep accel-pppd
try add -p <pid> if run without pid, like accel-pppd -c /etc/accel-ppp.conf -d -p /var/run/accel-ppp.pid

/var/run/ does not exist?
try set absolute path and change directory for pid like
./accel-pppd -d -c /etc/accel-ppp.conf.dist -p /var/run/accel-ppp.pid
and show me please accel-cmd -V

Thank you for your reminder. I think I've found the cause of the issue. While "-d" parameter specified, statement("daemon(0, 0);") is executed. The current working directory is changed to the root ("/") , standard output and standard error are redirected to /dev/null. So when I specify the relative config path rather than absolute path, the application can't find the config file and can't ouput error message. Thany you very much.
