DESCRIPTION

15       conmand  is the daemon responsible for managing consoles defined by its
16       configuration file as well as listening for connections from clients.

OPTIONS

20       -c file
21              Specify a configuration file, overriding  the  default  location
22              [/etc/conman.conf].
23
24       -h     Display a summary of the command-line options.
25
26       -k     Send a SIGTERM to the conmand process associated with the speci‐
27              fied configuration, thereby killing the daemon.   Returns  0  if
28              the daemon was successfully signaled; otherwise, returns 1.
29
30       -L     Display license information.
31
32       -p port
33              Specify the port on which conmand will listen for clients, over‐
34              riding both the default port [7890] and the  port  specified  in
35              the configuration file.
36
37       -q     Displays  the  PID  of  the  conmand process associated with the
38              specified configuration if it appears active.  Returns 0 if  the
39              configuration appears active; otherwise, returns 1.
40
41       -r     Send  a SIGHUP to the conmand process associated with the speci‐
42              fied configuration, thereby re-opening both  that  daemon's  log
43              file  and individual console log files.  Returns 0 if the daemon
44              was successfully signaled; otherwise, returns 1.
45
46       -v     Enable verbose mode.
47
48       -V     Display version information.
49
50       -z     Truncate both the daemon's log file and individual  console  log
51              files at start-up.
52
53

SIGNALS

55       SIGHUP      Close  and re-open both the daemon's log file and the indi‐
56                   vidual console log  files.   Conversion  specifiers  within
57                   filenames  will be re-evaluated.  This is useful for logro‐
58                   tate configurations.
59
60       SIGTERM     Terminate the daemon.
61
62

SECURITY

64       The client/server communications are not yet encrypted.
65
66

NOTES

68       Log messages are sent to standard-error until after  the  configuration
69       file  has been read, at which time future messages are discarded unless
70       either the logfile or syslog  keyword  has  been  specified  (cf,  con‐
71       man.conf(5)).
72
73       If the configuration file is modified while the daemon is running and a
74       pidfile was not originally specified, the '-k' and '-r' options may  be
75       unable  to  identify  the daemon process; consequently, the appropriate
76       signal may need to be sent to the daemon manually.
