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 normally 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 descriptors 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. See Also netatalk(8), cnid_dbd(8), afpd(8), dbd(1), afp.conf(5) Operator Notes After a netatalk upgrade, restart cnid_metad (typically systemctl restart netatalk) so its cnid_dbd children pick up the new binary.
