Request to remove Splunkforwarder9.X version force request tty env restriction

When I doing splunkforwarder version upgrade to 9.X which always failed due to below error

- Migration information is being logged to '/opt/splunkforwarder/var/log/splunk/migration.log.2024-03-25.18-09-26' -- Error calling execve(): No such file or directory Error launching command: No such file or directory

As per the discussion on the link: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/Upgrading-Universal-Forwarder-8-x-x-to-9-x-x-does-not-work/m-p/665668 who said we have to enable the tty env option on the docker runtime to successfully bring up Splunkforward9.X

Indeed I added the tty config on my docker compose file and it works. But I would say it is werse, bad workaround way to bring up splunkforwarder9.X.

Why the forwarder9.X version force ask for the tty terminal env to run up? Can we remove this restriction? In many case, we have to bring up splunkforwarder instance within a background program but not in a terminal, and for some case we have to use process manager to control splunkforwarder start resume...

Anyway, can we remove the tty restriction for newer splunkforwarder9.X just like what it did on 8.X and 7.X

Did you ever find an answer or a solution other than adding tty?
