[PATCH v5 1/3] Introduce -l/--syscall-limit option

[Kossi GLOKPOR]

Hi,
 I was thinking about enabling it automatically. If the user enabled one of
the daemonization options, we use it but if he isn't using one, we set
--daemonize=grandchild and emit a warning telling the user we did so. Do
you think this can do the trick?

Regards,
Kossi
