okpfud --
file update daemon for OKP
SYNTAX
/etc/okpfud [-f <configuration-file>]
-p <pid_file> [-v]
[-s <period>]
[-c] [-d] [-D]
DESCRIPTION
okpfud is the file update daemon for the OpenServer Kernel
Personality (OKP) and is started at boot time.
okpfud monitors a number of system files
on a regular basis, looking for changes in the file contents,
file deletions, file modification times, or file inode number changes.
The configuration file /etc/okpfid.d/okpfud.conf specifies
specifies an <action> to be taken when a change is detected.
When the <action> completes,
okpfud examines the new state of the system,
updates the information about the file in its internal tables,
and resumes periodic scanning for changes in that file.
You can request that okpfud re-read its configuration file
by sending it a SIGHUP signal.
okpfud writes its process id number
into the data file specified as <pid_file>
on the command line.
By default, this is /etc/okpfud.d/okpfud.pid.
Multiple fud processes can be run on one machine
with each using a different configuration file
and unique PID logging file.
Command line options
fud takes the following command line options:
-f <configuration-file>-
Use <configuration-file> rather than
the default.
See
fud.conf(4)
for the file syntax.
<configuration-file> must be an absolute pathname.
-s <period>-
Specify the interval, in seconds,
between sweeps of the files that okpfud monitors.
The default value is one second.
-p <pid_file>-
Specify the location of the data file
where PIDs are logged.
If pid_file is an absolute file name (begins with /),
the file can be located anywhere in the filesystem hierarchy.
If pid_file does not begin with /,
it will be located in the /etc/okpfud.d directory.
-v-
Print version of okpfud command being executed.
-c-
Execute the <action> for all monitored files
once on system startup,
before beginnng the regular scan for file changes.
This option is useful
when the system is in an unknown state on startup.
It ensures that all files monitored by okpfud
are up-to-date when fud starts.
-d, -D-
Run okpfud in debug mode.
-D specifies a more verbose mode than -d.
Without these options,
okpfud runs silently,
logging warnings and error messages to the system log
as discussed in
syslog(3G).
In debug mode,
okpfud runs in the foreground rather than as a daemon
and logs messages to stderr.
These options are intended for debugging
and should not be used on production systems.
