NAME

6       notifyd - Cyrus notification server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
10               [ -D ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Notifyd is a daemon started from cyrus-master(8) that handles notifica‐
14       tion requests on behalf of lmtpd(8).  Notifyd accepts the  request  and
15       performs the notification using the method specified in the request.
16
17       Note  that  for  notifyd  to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
18       cyrus.conf services entry.  prefork=1 is also recommended.
19
20       Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the  imapd.conf(5)  file
21       unless  specified  otherwise by -C.  The notifysocket option is used to
22       specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.
23

28       -U uses
29              The maximum number of times that the process should be used  for
30              new connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.
31
32       -T timeout
33              The  number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
34              nection before shutting down.  Note that a  value  of  0  (zero)
35              will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.
