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.
