Description

When qpidd runs as daemon, it is impossible to switch off its logging to syslog:

qpidd --log-to-syslog no --log-to-file /tmp/qpidd.txt -d

causes logs go to syslog, while:

qpidd --log-to-syslog no --log-to-file /tmp/qpidd.txt

doesn't log to syslog.

I think the issue is caused by -d flag overriding log-to-syslog option:

Daemon options:
-d [ --daemon ] Run as a daemon. Logs to syslog by default in
this mode.
