Please do not make server_linux put itself into the background. This makes it very difficult to use with proper service supervision. Please at least provide an option to stay in the foreground, although if that were the default, anyone could still background it if desired by using the shell's "&" feature.
On a related note, please allow logging to stdout, and please do not require creation of a PID file.
