NAME

       oddjobd - privileged operations for unprivileged processes

SYNOPSIS

       oddjobd [-n] [-d] [-p pidfile] [-c configfile] [-S] [-t timeout]

DESCRIPTION

       The  oddjobd daemon provides the com.redhat.oddjob service on the system-wide message bus.  Each facility
       which oddjobd provides is provided as a separate D-Bus method.

       Any method can be invoked by name by any user, subject to access controls  enforced  by  both  D-Bus  and
       oddjobd.

       Most methods are implemented as helper programs.

OPTIONS

       -n     Do not fork and become a daemon process.

       -d     Print debugging messages to stderr.  Implies -n.

       -p pidfile
              Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.

       -c /etc/oddjobd.conf
              Read the daemon's configuration from the named file.

       -S     Connect to the session bus instead of the system bus.  Used for testing only.

       -t timeout
              Specifies  the  amount of time which will pass between attempts to reconnect to the bus if oddjobd
              is disconnected for any reason.  If the specified timeout is above  5,  then  oddjobd  will  first
              attempt  to connect up to 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds.  The default reconnect timeout is 30
              seconds.

SIGNALS

       SIGHUP Reload the configuration.  Client requests which are in the process of being served  will  run  to
              completion even if the newly-loaded configuration does not include the service, object, interface,
              or method.
