# notifyd - Unix, Linux Command

# NAME

notifyd - Cyrus notification server

# SYNOPSIS

notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
[ -D ]

# DESCRIPTION

Notifyd is a daemon started from cyrus-master(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.
