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 dis-
	      able the timeout.  The default is 60.
