NAME
       collectdmon - Monitoring daemon for collectd

SYNOPSIS
       collectdmon [options] [-- collectd options]

DESCRIPTION
       collectdmon is a small "wrapper" daemon which starts and monitors the collectd daemon. If collectd terminates it will automatically be
       restarted, unless collectdmon was told to shut it down.

OPTIONS
       collectdmon supports the following options:

       -c <path>
	   Specify the pathname of the collectd binary. You may either specify an absolute path or simply the name of the binary in which case the
	   PATH variable will be searched for it. The default is "collectd".

       -P <pid-file>
	   Specify the pid file. The default is "/var/run/collectdmon.pid".

       -h  Output usage information and exit.

       collectd options
	   Specify options that are passed on to collectd. If it is not already included, -f will be added to these options. See collectd(1).

SIGNALS
       collectdmon accepts the following signals:

       SIGINT, SIGTERM
	   These signals cause collectdmon to terminate collectd, wait for its termination and then shut down.

       SIGHUP
	   This signal causes collectdmon to terminate collectd, wait for its termination and then restart it.
