NAME

8       notifyd - Cyrus notification server
9

SYNOPSIS

11       notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
12               [ -D ]
13

DESCRIPTION

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.
25

OPTIONS

30       -U uses
31              The maximum number of times that the process should be used  for
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.

39       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
