NAME
notifyd - Cyrus notification server

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

DESCRIPTION
Notifyd is a daemon started from master(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

-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.
