NAME

       krsd - kernel registry services daemon

SYNOPSIS

       seconds]

DESCRIPTION

       saves  data, flagged as persistent in the core kernel KRS tree, to files on disk.  These files are read when the system is booted, in order
       to restore the aforementioned persistent data.

       When running in daemon mode, sleeps, waking periodically to check if any persistent data have changed since the last save.   If	persistent
       data have changed, the new state of the data is saved to disk.  Otherwise, sleeps for another period of time and then repeats the process.

       When running in one time (non-daemon) mode, unconditionally saves persistent data to disk and then exits.

       Normally, is executed in daemon mode by init(1M).  The entry for will cause to be respawned automatically if it is terminated.

       uses the message logging facility to log all activity.

       Persistent KRS data are maintained in files based on the class of the data in question.	Currently, the following classes are recognized:

	      Data that apply to the system in general,
		   regardless of what configuration is booted.	This data is saved in the file

	      Data specific to a given bootable configuration.
		   This data is saved in the file

       only saves the class; the class is managed by the kernel configuration tools (see kconfig(5)).

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

       One time     mode, unconditionally save persistent data to disk, then exit.

       Run from     parent does not spawn a child nor exit.  Required if from inittab is to work properly.

       Set the delay time to
		    seconds seconds.  This is the time interval between attempted saves of persistent data.  The default interval is 300 seconds.
