OPTIONS

-a|--crash-dump

write oscam.crash on segfault (needs installed GDB and OSCam compiled with debug infos -ggdb)

-b|--daemon

starts in background, writing oscam.version with starttime and version info in temporary directory

-B|--pidfile <filename>

set PID file, overrides pidfile of oscam.conf, default:none

-c|--config-dir <directory>

read configuration from <directory>, default:see CS_CONFDIR in globals.h, while starting OSCam prints warnings on invalid keywords, comment lines start with # character.

Autodiscover of the following directories will be done:

•: /etc/tuxbox/config
•: /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam
•: /config/oscam
•: /usr/keys
•: /var/etc
•: /var/etc/oscam
•: /var/keys
•: /var/oscam
•: /var/tuxbox/config

-d|--debug <level>

debug level mask:

0 = no debugging (default) 2 = ATR parsing info, ECM dumps, CW dumps 4 = traffic from/to the reader 8 = traffic from/to the clients 16 = traffic to the reader-device on IFD layer 32 = traffic to the reader-device on I/O layer 64 = EMM logging 128 = DVBAPI logging 256 = load balancing logging 512 = cache exchange logging 1024 = client ECM logging 2048 = CSP logging 4096 = CWC logging 65535 = debug all

-g|--gcollect <mode>

garbage collector debug mode, default:none:

1 = immediate free 2 = check for double frees

-h|--help

usage

-I|--syslog-ident <ident>

set syslog ident, default:oscam

-p|--pending-ecm <number>

maximum number of pending ECM packets, default:32, maximum:255

-r|--restart <level>

restart level:

0 = disabled, restart request sets exit status to 99 1 = restart activated, web interface can restart oscam (default) 2 = like 1, but also restart on segmentation faults

-S|--show-sensitive

do not filter sensitive info (card serial numbers) in the logs

-s|--capture-segfaults

capture segmentation faults

-t|--temp-dir <directory>

use <directory> for temporary data, default:temporary directory of OS

-u|--utf8

enable output of web interface in UTF-8 charset

-V|--build-info

show OSCam version info

-w|--wait <seconds>

time waiting for system time to be set correctly

SIGNALS

SIGHUP

reinit user db, readers, TIERs, services, clients and anti-cascading, for newcamd connections: after reloading the ident, please restart newcamd client

SIGUSR1

shift debug level to next level (see debug level mask above)

SIGUSR2
