DESCRIPTION

14       The  oddjobd  daemon provides the com.redhat.oddjob service on the sys‐
15       tem-wide message bus.  Each facility which oddjobd provides is provided
16       as a separate D-Bus method.
17
18       Any  method  can be invoked by name by any user, subject to access con‐
19       trols enforced by both D-Bus and oddjobd.
20
21       Most methods are implemented as helper programs.

OPTIONS

26
27       -d     Print debugging messages to stderr.  Implies -n.
28
29       -p pidfile
30              Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.
31
32       -c /etc/oddjobd.conf
33              Read the daemon's configuration from the named file.
34
35       -S     Connect to the session bus instead of the system bus.  Used  for
36              testing only.
37
38       -t timeout
39              Specifies the amount of time which will pass between attempts to
40              reconnect to the bus if oddjobd is disconnected for any  reason.
41              If  the  specified  timeout  is above 5, then oddjobd will first
42              attempt to connect up to 10 times at  intervals  of  5  seconds.
43              The default reconnect timeout is 30 seconds.

SIGNALS

47       SIGHUP Reload  the  configuration.   Client  requests  which are in the
48              process of being served will  run  to  completion  even  if  the
49              newly-loaded configuration does not include the service, object,
50              interface, or method.
