<h1>Daemon</h1>
<h2>Command Line Arguments</h2>
The <tt>polypaudio</tt> daemon accepts several command line arguments:
<pre>
-h, --help Show this help
--version Show version
--dump-conf Dump default configuration
--dump-modules Dump list of available modules
-D, --daemonize[=BOOL] Daemonize after startup
--fail[=BOOL] Quit when startup fails
--verbose[=BOOL] Be slightly more verbose
--high-priority[=BOOL] Try to set high process priority (only available as root)
--disallow-module-loading[=BOOL] Disallow module loading after startup
--exit-idle-time=SECS Terminate the daemon when idle and this time passed
--module-idle-time=SECS Unload autoloaded modules when idle and this time passed
--scache-idle-time=SECS Unload autoloaded samples when idle and this time passed
--log-target={auto,syslog,stderr} Specify the log target
-p, --dl-search-path=PATH Set the search path for dynamic shared objects (plugins)
--resample-method=[METHOD] Use the specified resampling method
-L, --load="MODULE ARGUMENTS" Load the specified plugin module with the specified argument
-F, --file=FILENAME Run the specified script
-C Open a command line on the running TTY after startup (identical to -Lmodule-cli)
-n Don't load default script file
</pre>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>It is a good idea to run the daemon like this:</p>
<pre>polypaudio -D</pre>
<p>This will run <tt>/etc/polypaudio/default.pa</tt> after startup. This should be a script written in the CLI language described in <a href="cli.html">cli.html</a>. </p>
<h2>Signals</h2>
<p>The following signals are trapped specially:</p>
<h3>SIGINT</h3>
<p>The daemon is shut down cleanly.</p>
<h3>SIGUSR1</h3>
<p>The daemon tries to load the module <a href="modules.html#module-cli"><tt>module-cli</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on the calling TTY.</p>
<h3>SIGUSR2</h3>
<p>The daemon tries to load the module <a href="modules.html#module-cli-protocol-unix"><tt>module-cli-protocol-unix</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on a special UNIX domain socket.</p>
<h3>SIGHUP</h3>
<p>The daemon logs the current server layout.</p>
