notifyd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual notifyd(8)NAMEnotifyd — notification server
SYNOPSISnotifyd [-d service_name] [-v] [-shm_pages npages] [-no_restart]
DESCRIPTIONnotifyd is the server for the Mac OS X notification system described in
notify(3). The server is usually started automatically during system
startup, and is not run from the command line.
The -d option causes notifyd to run in a debugging mode. It registers
its mach port with the given service name. It will stay attached to the
terminal and print verbose log messages to the terminal.
The -v option causes notifyd to produce verbose logging information.
The -shm_pages npages option sets the number of shared memory pages used
for passive notification. The default is one page. If a value of zero
is specified, shared memory is disabled, and passive notifications are
performed using IPC between the client and the server.
The -no_restart option causes notifyd to register as a non-restartable
server with mach_init.
