3 collectdmon - Monitoring daemon for collectd
7 collectdmon I<[options]> [-- I<collectd options>]
11 collectdmon is a small "wrapper" daemon which starts and monitors the collectd
12 daemon. If collectd terminates it will automatically be restarted, unless
13 collectdmon was told to shut it down.
17 collectdmon supports the following options:
21 =item B<-c> I<E<lt>pathE<gt>>
23 Specify the pathname of the collectd binary. You may either specify an
24 absolute path or simply the name of the binary in which case the B<PATH>
25 variable will be searched for it. The default is "B<collectd>".
27 =item B<-P> I<E<lt>pid-fileE<gt>>
29 Specify the pid file. The default is "I</var/run/collectdmon.pid>".
33 Output usage information and exit.
35 =item I<collectd options>
37 Specify options that are passed on to collectd. If it is not already included,
38 B<-f> will be added to these options. See L<collectd(1)>.
44 B<collectdmon> accepts the following signals:
48 =item B<SIGINT>, B<SIGTERM>
50 These signals cause B<collectdmon> to terminate B<collectd>, wait for its
51 termination and then shut down.
55 This signal causes B<collectdmon> to terminate B<collectd>, wait for its
56 termination and then restart it.
