voipmonitor only runs in the foreground

[lancethepants]

I compiled voipmonitor to run on my router. I used to run it years ago on arm, but now I have arm64. If I start with the following command, it stops and gives this message

admin@RT-AX88U-6860: ./voipmonitor --no-cdr -d /mnt/storage/audio -i br0 -W
voipmonitor version 30.3

voipmonitor[21026]: detected rrdtool version 10800
another voipmonitor instance with the same configuration file is running

No other instance is running.

But if I tell it not to fork then it seems to run in the foreground fine.

"another voipmonitor instance with the same configuration file is running" - can you please paste "ps axl|grep voipmoni" ?

Full disclosure, I'm compiling this against musl libc, so here are some very hacky changes to get it to compile.
