profiling the core remains difficult even when run in foreground. while profiling a cgi is mostly the same as debugging, the core forks, and more importantly, it drops root privilegues after startup.

profiling is somewhat different to debugging, because it uses a cache/out file which is created as root, but then tried to be written as icinga user.

this fails heavily, and in order not to have remove the drop_privilegues function when doing some profiling, it would be nice to have a switch on runtime, -debug or similar, where specialities like dropping privilegues does not happen because we know what we are doing and not running it in production.

wrong thinking, can be done setting the icinga_user|group to root while profiling, keeping a different icinga.cfg for profiling.
