[systemd-devel] [PATCH] gnome-ask-password-agent: do not double fork spawned process

[Michael Laß]

pkexec does not like being a lonely child:
"Refusing to render service to dead parents."

Do not double fork when spawning the process by using the DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD
flag. Instead clean up manually by calling waitpid.
