BUG: Motion won't exit until it has reconnected to all cameras after a successful start

If you do a kill -TERM on motion, it won't exit until it has reconnected to all cameras first.

This is a logic error since you don't want to have to wait until it connects back to a camera before exiting. If the camera has died, then it will never exit an you'll have to do a nasty kill -9 on it.

Test case

Jan 30 18:56:05 ns motion: [2] netcam: exiting loop...
Jan 30 18:56:08 ns motion: [1] netcam: connect() : No route to host
Jan 30 18:56:08 ns motion: [1] netcam: reconnecting [2]

Jan 30 18:56:38 ns motion: [1] netcam: reconnection successful [3]

Jan 30 18:56:38 ns motion: [1] netcam: exiting loop...
Jan 30 18:56:39 ns motion: motion terminating

Cameras are D-Link DCS900W/Trendnet TV-IP100W (basically the same camera, but different manufacturer)

Follow up

Fix record

It must have been a problem related to 3.2.1.

It stops fine at the current 3.2.5 daily.

Try 3.2.5 when it gets released. Probably in 1-2 days from now.

Yes, the problem cleared-up with the 3.2.5 release. Thanks a bunch!
