NAME
collectdmon - Monitoring daemon for collectd
SYNOPSIS
collectdmon [options] [-- collectd options]
DESCRIPTION
collectdmon is a small "wrapper" daemon which starts and monitors the
collectd daemon. If collectd terminates it will automatically be
restarted, unless collectdmon was told to shut it down.
OPTIONS
collectdmon supports the following options:
-c <path>
Specify the pathname of the collectd binary. You may either specify
an absolute path or simply the name of the binary in which case the
PATH variable will be searched for it. The default is "collectd".
-P <pid-file>
Specify the pid file. The default is "/var/run/collectdmon.pid".
-h Output usage information and exit.
collectd options
Specify options that are passed on to collectd. If it is not
already included, -f will be added to these options. See
collectd(1).
SIGNALS
collectdmon accepts the following signals:
SIGINT, SIGTERM
These signals cause collectdmon to terminate collectd, wait for its
termination and then shut down.
SIGHUP
This signal causes collectdmon to terminate collectd, wait for its
termination and then restart it.
