NAME
       groupd - the group manager for fenced, dlm_controld and gfs_controld

SYNOPSIS
       groupd [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  group  daemon,  groupd, provides a compatibility layer between the
       openais closed process group (CPG) service and the fenced, dlm_controld
       and gfs_controld daemons.  groupd and its associated libgroup interface
       will go away in the future as the fencing,  dlm	and  gfs  daemons  are
       ported  to  use	the libcpg interfaces directly.	 groupd translates and
       buffers cpg events between openais's cpg service and the	 fence/dlm/gfs
       systems that use it.  CPG's are used to represent the membership of the
       fence domain, dlm lockspaces and gfs mount groups.

       groupd is also a convenient place to query the status of the fence, dlm
       and gfs groups.	This is done by the group_tool program.

OPTIONS
       -D     Run  the	daemon in the foreground and print debug statements to
	      stdout.

       -V     Print the version information and exit.

       -h     Print out a help	message	 describing  available	options,  then
	      exit.

       -s [0|1]
	      Run   the	 daemon	 with  shutdown	 mode  disabled/enabled.  When
	      enabled, the node will be removed from the cluster if any of the
	      fence/dlm/gfs  daemons  die unexpectedly. The default is enabled
	      (1).

DEBUGGING
       The groupd daemon keeps a circular buffer of debug messages that can be
       dumped with the 'group_tool dump' command.
