[Opendnssec-develop] A NotifyCommand script blocks, what to do?

This is a follow-up from today's meeting AOB.

The case:
OpenDNSSEC has a <NotifyCommand> configured to notify a name server.
The configured script never terminates and the associated worker and
zone are being blocked and will be forever in the [write] task.

Is this what we want (let the worker wait until the notify command is
terminated)? Or do we want the signer daemon to fork off the notify
command script and continue its process regardless of the result of the
notify command script? In the latter case, you will get fresh signed
zone files, but we don't know if they are ever picked up by the name server.

Best regards,
  Matthijs
