Description

It would be handy to be able to fail with a nice message during init, such as 'database not available' or 'no config file found' or whatever.

At the moment, if you try that during init, you get an IllegalStateException. I've attached a patch which removes this restriction in DaemonLoader, but failing at this stage doesn't stop the c code from calling start. I could work around this in the DaemonLoader, but not sure that is the right approach. I'll have a go at doing a patch for the c-code, but I'm not a confident in my c skills...
