WHOSOND(8) WHOSON WHOSOND(8)

whosond - whoson database daemon

whosond [-V] [-v] [-h] [-d] [-I configfile]

whosond command starts the daemon that maintains the in-memory database accessible by the application programs via the whoson(3) API functions.

Command options are:

-V - print version information and exit

-v - verbose operation - print debugging output to stdout. Useful together with -d option.

-d - do not go to the background. By default, the program forks a child that closes stdin, stdout and stderr, detaches from the controlling terminal and continue in the background. The parent process finishes.

-I configfile Specify alternative location for the configuration file. Default is /etc/whoson.conf.

The daemon implements one extentions to the "whoson" protocol: if you send a command verb LIST, the daemon responds with a multiline display of some statistics information.
