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.

       When built with support for the dbd (Database Daemon) CNID backend, ne-
       tatalk(8) will start and	stop cnid_metad	as needed.  The	user will nor-
       mally not interact with it directly.

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.
