NAME

6       cnid_metad - start cnid_dbd daemons on request
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cnid_metad [-d] [-F configuration file]
10
11       cnid_metad -v | -V

DESCRIPTION

14       cnid_metad waits for requests from afpd to start up instances of the
15       cnid_dbd daemon. It keeps track of the status of a cnid_dbd instance
16       once started and will restart it if necessary.  cnid_metad is normally
17       started at boot time by netatalk(8) and runs until shutdown.

OPTIONS

20       -d
21           cnid_metad will remain in the foreground and will also leave the
22           standard input, standard output and standard error file descriptors
23           open. Useful for debugging.
24
25       -F configuration file
26           Use configuration file as the configuration file. The default is
27           @pkgconfdir@/afp.conf.
28
29       -v, -V
30           Show version and exit.
31

CAVEATS

33       cnid_metad does not block or catch any signals apart from SIGPIPE. It
34       will therefore exit on most signals received. This will also cause all
35       instances of cnid_dbd's started by that cnid_metad to exit gracefully.
36       Since state about and IPC access to the subprocesses is only maintained
37       in memory by cnid_metad this is desired behaviour. As soon as
38       cnid_metad is restarted afpd processes will transparently reconnect.
