NAME

       watchcatd - process monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       watchcatd [-fhpX] [-f filename ] [-p pathname ]

DESCRIPTION

       watchcatd is a background daemon which monitors registered processes, killing them in case
       they lock up. As a secondary use, watchcatd can be set up to work as a timer.

OPTIONS

       -f, --config-file filename
              Use the alternate system wide filename instead of /etc/watchcatd.conf.  It must  be
              an absolute path.

       -h, --help
              Display an usage message

       -p, --exec-path
              Use a alternate absolute path to exec childrens. Useful for debugging purposes.

       -X, --dont-detach
              Don't detach from the console. Useful for debugging purposes.

FILES

       /etc/watchcatd.conf
              The system wide configuration file. See watchcatd.conf(5) for further details.
       /var/run/watchcat.socket
              The watchcat device.

BUGS

       The current version doesn't support thread registry, only process registry to service.
