CNID_METAD(8)		Netatalk AFP Fileserver	Manual		 CNID_METAD(8)

Name
       cnid_metad -- daemon for	starting cnid_dbd daemons on demand

Synopsis
       cnid_metad [-d] [-F configuration file]

       cnid_metad [ -v | -V ]

Description
       cnid_metad  waits  for  requests	from afpd to start up instances	of the
       cnid_dbd	daemon.	It keeps track of the status of	 a  cnid_dbd  instance
       once  started  and will restart it if necessary.	cnid_metad is normally
       started at boot time by netatalk(8) and runs until shutdown.

Options
       -d

	      cnid_metad will remain in	the foreground and will	also leave the
	      standard input, standard output and standard error file descrip-
	      tors open. Useful	for debugging.

       -F <configuration file>

	      Use configuration	file as	the configuration file.

       -v, -V

	      Show version and exit.

Caveats
       cnid_metad does not block or catch any signals apart from  SIGPIPE.  It
       will  therefore exit on most signals received. This will	also cause all
       instances of cnid_dbd started by	that cnid_metad	 to  exit  gracefully.
       Since state about and IPC access	to the subprocesses is only maintained
       in  memory  by  cnid_metad  this	 is  desired  behaviour.  As  soon  as
       cnid_metad is restarted afpd processes will transparently reconnect.
