[rabbitmq-discuss] Problem with rabbitmq-server.init

[Sundar]

The rabbitmq Fedora init script does not daemonize correctly (AFAICT). The
current script also does not match the Debian daemonization (using
start-stop-daemon).

Following is a patch to use "daemon" to make it work (I think). I'd
appreciate any feedback. I'm also not sure how to submit a pull/patch
request so if this is not the right place to submit this please could
someone point me to the right place. I cloned the code from
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server

Thanks much.
