KNOPWATCHD(8)

NAME
knopwatchd - "FwKnop Watch Daemon" checks to make sure knopmd and fwknop daemons are running.

SYNOPSIS
knopwatchd [<config file>]

DESCRIPTION
knopwatchd checks on an interval of every five seconds to make sure that knopmd and fwknop are running on the box. If any of the three daemons have died, knopwatchd will restart the daemon and notify each email address listed in the EMAIL_ADDRESSES variable (see /etc/fwknop/knopwatchd.conf) that the daemon has been restarted. knopwatchd uses the knopwatchd.conf configuration file which by default is located at /etc/fwknop/knopwatchd.conf, but a different path can be specified on the command line.
