=pod =head1 NAME rrdcached - Data caching daemon for rrdtool =head1 SYNOPSIS B [B<-l> I

] [B<-w> I] [B<-f> I] =head1 DESCRIPTION B is a daemon that receives updates to existing RRD files, accumulates them and, if enough have been received or a defined time has passed, writes the updates to the RRD file. A I command may be used to force writing of values to disk, so that graphing facilities and similar can work with up-to-date data. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-l> I

Tells the daemon to bind to I

and accept incoming connections on that socket. If I

begins with C, everthing following that prefix is interpreted as the path to a UNIX domain socket. Otherwise the address or node name are resolved using L. =item B<-w> I Data is written to disk every I seconds. =item B<-f> I Every I seconds the entire cache is searched for old values which are written to disk. This only concerns files to which updates have stopped, so setting this to a high value, such as 3600 seconds, is acceptable in most cases. =back =head1 BUGS =over 4 =item Base directory is currently hard coded. The daemon will chdir to C. =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L =head1 AUHOR B and this manual page have been written by Florian Forster EoctoEatEverplant.orgE.
