Hi, I realized Unicorn.run inside the daemonize method doesn't work.
The daemonize method is also used by Rainbows! (and Zbatery).

However, I've reimplemented much of your idea here so it does not
involve sleeping at all, but rather shares a pipe with the grandparent
(started by the user) and Unicorn master process.  The added benefit of
using a pipe is that there's no fuzzy sleeping involved at or grace
periods to worry about, too.

Also pushed out to the "ready_pipe" branch of
git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git

Let me know how it goes.

If everything looks good, I'll consider merging for 0.96.0.

Subject: [PATCH] exit with failure if master dies when daemonized
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This behavior change also means our grandparent (launched
from a controlling terminal or script) will wait until
the master process is ready before returning.

Thanks to Iñaki Baz Castillo for the initial implementations
and inspiration.
