NAME

6       beagled - the Beagle desktop search daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       beagled [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       beagled,  the  Beagle  daemon,  is  the  heart  of Beagle, a system for
13       searching and managing your personal  information  space.   The  Beagle
14       daemon  should  normally  be  started  as  part  of  your system's boot
15       process: For example, by an initscript.
16
17       Running beagled by hand is of use for those wishing  to  customize  the
18       Beagle  daemon's execution via command-line options, developers testing
19       Beagle, or those who use Beagle only infrequently.
20

OPTIONS

22       beagled has many options, although most are for debugging and fine-tun‐
23       ing execution and are thus not required for standard use.
24
25       --foreground|--fg
26              If specified, execute the Beagle daemon in the foreground.
27
28       --background|--bg
29              If  specified,  execute  the  Beagle  daemon  in  the background
30              (default).
31
32       --replace
33              If specified, the daemon tries to shutdown and replace any other
34              Beagle daemon already running.
35
36       --debug
37              Enable extensive logging suited for general debugging purposes.
38
39       --debug-memory
40              Enable extensive logging suited for memory debugging purposes.
41
42       --indexing-test-mode
43               Run in foreground, and exit when fully indexed.
44
45       --indexing-delay
46              Time to wait before indexing.  (Default 60 seconds)
47
48       --backend
49              Configure which backends to use.
50
51            --backend <name>
52                   Only start backend 'name'
53
54            --backend +<name>
55                   Additionally start backend 'name'
56
57            --backend -<name>
58                   Disable backend 'name'
59
60       --allow-backend backend
61              (DEPRECIATED)  Constrain the Beagle daemon to only use specified
62              backends. This argument can be used multiple times.
63
64       --deny-backend backend
65              (DEPRECIATED) Constrain the Beagle daemon by disabling specified
66              backends. This argument can be used multiple times.
67
68       --list-backends
69              Retrieve a list of all known backends. This list of backends can
70              then be used with with the --allow/deny-backend  options.  Using
71              this argument will print out the list of backends and then exit.
72
73       --add-static-backend
74              Add a static backend by path.
75
76       --disable-scheduler
77              Disable  the internal scheduler and thus refrain the Beagle dae‐
78              mon from performing any crawling or indexing. Search  facilities
79              will remain enabled.
