(RADIATOR) runnding radiator as daemon

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Christoph -

You should use a script in rc.d to start restartWrapper, which in turn 
should be used to (re)start radiusd.

You need to run radiusd in the foreground when you use restartWrapper 
so it remains attached to the controlling program.

If radiusd exits then restartWrapper will take care of restarting it 
and will let you know what went wrong (if so configured).

regards

Hugh
