Log message:
	Don't kill the parent if debugging.
	
	If dmeventd runs with -d flag, it doesn't fork into backgroud.
	The command kill(getppid(), SIGTERM) attempts to kill the parent dmeventd
	process, however, if there is no parent, it kills whatever process spawned
	dmeventd. In case of debugging with gdb, the parent is gdb, thus
	kill(getppid(), SIGTERM) kills the debugger.
