CNID_METAD(8) 3.1.8 CNID_METAD(8)NAMEcnid_metad - start cnid_dbd daemons on request
SYNOPSIScnid_metad [-d] [-F configuration file]
cnid_metad-v | -V
DESCRIPTIONcnid_metad waits for requests from afpd to start up instances of the
cnid_dbd daemon. It keeps track of the status of a cnid_dbd instance
once started and will restart it if necessary. cnid_metad is normally
started at boot time by netatalk(8) and runs until shutdown.
OPTIONS-d
cnid_metad will remain in the foreground and will also leave the
standard input, standard output and standard error file descriptors
open. Useful for debugging.
-F configuration file
Use configuration file as the configuration file. The default is
@pkgconfdir@/afp.conf.
-v, -V
Show version and exit.
CAVEATScnid_metad does not block or catch any signals apart from SIGPIPE. It
will therefore exit on most signals received. This will also cause all
instances of cnid_dbd's started by that cnid_metad to exit gracefully.
Since state about and IPC access to the subprocesses is only maintained
in memory by cnid_metad this is desired behaviour. As soon as
cnid_metad is restarted afpd processes will transparently reconnect.
