NAME

7       and fwknop daemons are running.

SYNOPSIS

10       knopwatchd [options]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       knopwatchd checks on an interval of every five  seconds  to  make  sure
14       that  knopmd, knoptm and fwknopd are running on the box.  If any of the
15       three daemons have died, knopwatchd will restart the daemon and  notify
16       each email address listed in the EMAIL_ADDRESSES variable that the dae‐
17       mon has been restarted.  knopwatchd uses the fwknop.conf  configuration
18       file  which by default is located at /etc/fwknop/, but a different path
19       can be specified on the command line.
20

OPTIONS

22       -c <config-file>
23              Specify path to config file instead of using the default config‐
24              uration file /etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf.
25
26       -D     Dump  the  configuration  values  that  knopwatchd  derives from
27              /etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf (or other override files) on STDERR.
28
29       -h     Display usage information and exit.
30
31       -O <config-file>
32              Override config variable values that are normally read from  the
33              /etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf  file  with  values  from  the specified
34              file.  Multiple override config files can be given  as  a  comma
35              separated list.
