NAME

6       abrtd - automated bug reporting tool's daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       abrtd [-dsv[v]...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       abrtd  is  a  daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash
13       occurs, it collects the crash data (core  file,  application's  command
14       line  etc.)  and takes action according to the type of application that
15       crashed and according to the  configuration  in  the  abrt.conf  config
16       file.  There are plugins for various actions: for example to report the
17       crash to Bugzilla, to mail the report, or to transfer  the  report  via
18       FTP or SCP. See the manual pages for the respective plugins.

CAVEATS

34       When you use some other crash-catching tool specific for an application
35       or an application type (for example BugBuddy for  GNOME  applications),
36       crashes  of this type will be handled by that tool and not by abrtd. If
37       you want abrtd to handle  these  crashes,  turn  off  the  higher-level
38       crash-catching tool.
