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.
