DESCRIPTION

       mfsmetalogger is the metadata replication server of Lizard File System. Depending on
       parameters it can start, restart or stop LizardFS metalogger process. Without any options
       it starts LizardFS metalogger, killing previously run process if lock file exists.

       SIGHUP (or reload ACTION) forces mfsmetalogger to reload all configuration files.

       -v
           print version information and exit

       -h
           print usage information and exit

       -c CFGFILE
           specify alternative path of configuration file (default is mfsmetalogger.cfg in system
           configuration directory)

       -u
           log undefined configuration values (when default is assumed)

       -d
           run in foreground, don’t daemonize

       -t LOCKTIMEOUT
           how long to wait for lockfile (default is 60 seconds)

       ACTION is the one of start, stop, restart, reload, test, isalive or kill. Default action
       is restart.
