IFSTATED(8) System Manager's Manual IFSTATED(8) NAME ifstated -- Interface State daemon SYNOPSIS ifstated [-dhinv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-p pidfile] DESCRIPTION The ifstated daemon runs commands in response to network state changes, which it determines by monitoring interface link state or running ex- ternal tests. For example, it can be used with carp(4) to change run- ning services or to ensure that carp(4) interfaces stay in sync, or with pf(4) to test server or link availability and modify translation or routing rules. The options are as follows: -D macro=value Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file. -d Do not daemonize and log to stdout. -f file Specify an alternate location, file, for the configuration file. -p pidfile Specify the location, pidfile, for the PID file. -h Print help message. -i Ignore initial interface states. -n Config test mode. Check config validity, then exit. -v Verbose mode. Use twice to further increase verbosity. Upon receiving SIGHUP, ifstated reloads the configuration file. FILES /usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf ifstated configuration file. SEE ALSO carp(4), pf(4), ifstated.conf(5) HISTORY The ifstated program first appeared in OpenBSD 3.8.
