SYNOPSIS

11          notifyd [ -C config-file ]  [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       notifyd  is  a  daemon started from master(8) that handles notification
15       requests on behalf of lmtpd(8). Notifyd accepts the  request  and  per‐
16       forms the notification using the method specified in the request.
17
18       Note  that  for  notifyd  to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
19       cyrus.conf(5) services entry.  prefork=1 is also recommended.
20
21       notifyd reads its configuration options out of the  imapd.conf(5)  file
22       unless specified otherwise by -C.
23
24       notifysocket option is used to specify the Unix domain socket to listen
25       on for notifications.
26

OPTIONS

28       -C config-file
29              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
30              default imapd.conf(5).
31
32       -U uses
33              The  maximum number of times that the process should be used for
34              new connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.
35
36       -T timeout
37              The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new  con‐
38              nection  before  shutting  down.   Note that a value of 0 (zero)
39              will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.
40
41       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
