[darwin] wg-quick command line flag to prevent disown

[Niklas Buschmann]

Hello,

I am using macOS=E2=80=99s launchd to create a boot daemon that runs =
wg-quick. Now launchd seems to kill the process when wg-quick calls =
disown, so I am currently just manually removing disown from the end of =
monitor_daemon, which of course breaks after each update, so I wish =
there was an option to keep wg-quick in the foreground.

Maybe there is a better approach to run wireguard as macOS daemon? I =
haven=E2=80=99t found any resources on this topic yet.

Thanks,
Niklas=

You can stop launchd from garbage-collecting processes via the
plist property "AbandonProcessGroup". See the section "Careful
With That Fork, Eugene" [1] in the launchd documentation for
details on the whole mess.
