13
15 Notifyd is a daemon started from cyrus-master(8) that handles notifica‐
16 tion requests on behalf of lmtpd(8). Notifyd accepts the request and
17 performs the notification using the method specified in the request.
18
19 Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
20 cyrus.conf services entry. prefork=1 is also recommended.
21
22 Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
23 unless specified otherwise by -C. The notifysocket option is used to
24 specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.

32 new connections before shutting down. The default is 250.
33
34 -T timeout
35 The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
36 nection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero)
37 will disable the timeout. The default is 60.
