NAME

       bdii-update - the bdii update process

SYNOPSIS

       bdii-update [-d ] -c config-file

DESCRIPTION

       The  bdii-update  process  obtains  the  LDIF  by  reading files found the ldif directory,
       running providers found in the provider directory and running plugins found in the plugin
        directory.  The difference  between  providers  and  plugins  is  that  providers  return
       complete  entries  and plugins provide modifications to existing entries.  The process can
       be run either as a daemon that periodically syncronizes an LDAP database or as  a  command
       that will print the result to stdout.

OPTIONS

       -d     Run as a daemon process.

       -c config
              The configuration to use.

FILES

       /etc/bdii.conf
              The default configuration file.
