Description

Now syslog messages processing is part of the main event loop. Maybe it'd be better to make it a separate child attached to the same controlling terminal. The only drawback is that every message from pinito should be sent to syslog instead then.

Research direction

Begin by locating the syslog message-processing code and the main event loop in the repository. Trace how the listener is attached to the controlling terminal and how pinito messages currently reach syslog; the work is done when the proposed child-process arrangement and message forwarding behavior are defined and covered by appropriate checks.
