The esmd daemon

Running esmd

To run esmd just setup the configdir Then add esmd to your start up scripts.

The proper way to add esmd to your start up scripts is to add something like:


su -c "/usr/local/esm/bin/esmd" --login root &

If you don't do that the environment variables may not be setup properly. For instance Mailreport's encryption option won't work because gnupg needs the environment setup as though it's in a normal login spawned shell.

Command line options


-f, --file <file>

The config dir path. Defaults to /etc/esm

--forground

Don't run as a daemon. Only usefull for debugging.

-h, --help

Help of course.

-v, --version

Prints some version information.
