I think that you are right the rtrmgr should have an option to run as a
background daemon.

Before we make such a change we would need to decide what to do with the
output from the XORP processes, discard, send to syslog, put in a
logfile in /var/log. In the code all output is generated with macros
that would map directly to syslog priorities, we have just never tied
XORP to syslog.
