.SH NAME
oddjobd - privileged operations for unprivileged processes

.SH SYNOPSIS
oddjobd [-n] [-d] [-p pidfile] [-c configfile] [-S] [-t timeout]

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIoddjobd\fR daemon provides the com.redhat.oddjob service on the
system-wide message bus.  Each facility which \fIoddjobd\fR provides is
provided as a separate D-Bus method.

Any method can be invoked by name by any user, subject to access controls
enforced by both D-Bus and \fIoddjobd\fR.

Most methods are implemented as helper programs.

.SH OPTIONS

-n
Do not fork and become a daemon process.
.TP

.TP
-p pidfile
Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.
.TP
-c /etc/oddjobd.conf
Read the daemon's configuration from the named file.
.TP
-S
Connect to the session bus instead of the system bus.  Used for testing only.
.TP
-t timeout
Specifies the amount of time which will pass between attempts to reconnect to
the bus if oddjobd is disconnected for any reason.  If the specified timeout is
above 5, then oddjobd will first attempt to
connect up to 10 times at intervals of
5 seconds.  The default reconnect timeout is
30 seconds.

.SH SIGNALS
.TP

Reload the configuration.  Client requests which are in the process of being

include the service, object, interface, or method.
