       card_eventmgr - PCSC-Lite Event Manager

SYNTAX
       card_eventmgr	 [debug]    [[no]daemon]    [timeout=<msecs>]	 [con-
       fig_file=<filename>] [kill] [pidfile=<pidfile>]

DESCRIPTION
       card_eventmgr is	a smart	card monitoring	tool that listen to the	status
       of the card reader and dispatch actions on several events.  card_event-
       mgr can be used for several actions: like screen	lock on	card removal.

       Three events are	supported: card	insertion, card	removal	and timeout on
       removed card. Actions are specified in a	configuration file.

OPTIONS
       debug  Enable debugging output.

       [no]daemon
	      Runs in background if daemon or in foreground if	nodaemon  (de-
	      fault). If debug is unset, the program dettaches itself from the
	      tty.

       timeout=<msecs>
	      Set  polling  timeout  in	milliseconds. Defaults to 1000 (1 sec-
	      ond).

       config_file=<configuration file>
	      Sets    de    configuration    file.    Default	  value	    is
	      /etc/pam_pkcs11/card_eventmgr.conf.

       pidfile=<pidfile>
	      Store the	card_eventmgr process ID (pid) in the file pidfile.

       kill   Read  a  process id from pidfile and kill	that process. You must
	      use the argument pidfile=<pidfile> to use	kill.

FILES
       /etc/pam_pkcs11/card_eventmgr.conf

EXAMPLES
       To run this program the standard	way type:

	card_eventmgr

       Alternatively you can specify options:

	card_eventmgr	    debug	nodaemon       timeout=500	  con-
       fig_file=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.conf

       If  you	want  to  start	and stop card_eventmgr automatically in	an X11
       session you can create a	~/.xsession file containing:
	# start	the card autolock
	card_eventmgr pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid

	# start	Gnome or something else
	/usr/bin/x-session-manager

	# kill the card	autolock
	card_eventmgr kill pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid

BUGS
       Some applications like xscreensaver-command may fail  due  to  external
       events (eg: try to unlock an unlocked session).	In this	case, the com-
       mand incorrectly	returns	error code.
