patch 8.2.4742: there is no way to start logging very early in startupv8.2.4742
Problem: There is no way to start logging very early in startup.
Solution: Add the --log argument. Include the date in the start message in
the log file. Avoid a duplicate message when forking. Log an
executed shell command.
