Comment (by Craig Treleaven <ctreleaven@…>):

 I tried removing the '--daemon' flag:

 https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/fixes/0.26/mythtv/libs/libmythbase/logging.cpp#L493

 I then used mythtv-setup to test.  Starting mythtv-setup  does cause
 mythlogserver to launch.  HOWEVER, when I tried to exit mythtv-setup, it
 appeared to hang.  I then used Console.app to force mythlogserver to quit
 and then mythtv-setup immediately exited.  I believe mythtv-setup was
 waiting for mythlogserver to 'finish' and exit!!

 Obviously, this isn't very friendly behaviour for folks that want to run a
 remote frontend and quit when finished.

 It appears to me that using OS X launchd services would be the right way
 to launch and stop mythlogserver.  However, there would have to be a bunch
 of conditional code to make that work.  Maybe somebody has a better
 strategy.

 As I see it, the OS X port is dead in the water because of this.
