NAME

       notifyd - Cyrus notification server

SYNOPSIS

       notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
               [ -D ]

DESCRIPTION

       Notifyd  is  a daemon started from cyrmaster(8) that handles notification requests on behalf of lmtpd(8).
       Notifyd accepts the request and performs the notification using the method specified in the request.

       Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its cyrus.conf services entry.  prefork=1
       is also recommended.

       Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise  by  -C.
       The notifysocket option is used to specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -U uses
              The  maximum  number  of times that the process should be used for new connections before shutting
              down.  The default is 250.

       -T timeout
              The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection before shutting down.   Note
              that a value of 0 (zero) will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.

       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.

NOTIFICATION METHODS

              can be specified as :options.

       external
