NAME
notifyd - Cyrus notification server
SYNOPSIS
notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
[ -D ]
DESCRIPTIONNotifyd is a daemon started from cyrus-master(8) that handles notifica‐
tion requests on behalf of lmtpd(8). Notifyd accepts the request and
performs the notification using the method specified in the request.
Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
cyrus.conf services entry. prefork=1 is also recommended.
Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
unless specified otherwise by -C. The notifysocket option is used to
specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.
OPTIONS-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-U uses
The maximum number of times that the process should be used for
new connections before shutting down. The default is 250.
-T timeout
The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
nection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero)
will disable the timeout. The default is 60.
-D Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
