The default is .IR pkgconfdir/config . See .BR disorder_config (5) for further information. .TP .B --pidfile \fIPATH\fR, \fB-P \fIPATH Write a pidfile. .TP .B --foreground\fR, \fB-f Run in the foreground. (By default, .B disorderd detaches from its terminal and runs in the background.) .TP .B --syslog\fR, \fB-s Log to syslog. This is the default if DisOrder runs in the background. .TP .B --debug\fR, \fB-d Enable debugging. .TP .B --help\fR, \fB-h Display a usage message. .TP .B --version\fR, \fB-V Display version number. .SH NOTES For configuration file documentation, see .BR disorder_config (5). .SS "Startup" The first time a new install of DisOrder is started it will run .B disorder-rescan to pick up new tracks. On subsequent server restarts it will NOT do this automatically; if you want a rescan at every restart you must arrange that manually. .PP There is however an automatic rescan once every 24 hours. .PP A \fBroot\fR login is automatically created on startup if it does not exist. If \fBdisorder\fR(1) is run as root on the same machine as the server it is capable of extracting the password from the database directly. .SS "Locales" .B disorderd is locale-aware. If you do not set the locale correctly then it may not handle non-ASCII data properly. .PP Filenames and the configuration file are assumed to be encoded using the current locale. Internally (within the server, in the database and in communication between client and server) the UTF-8 encoding is used. .SS Backups DisOrder uses Berkeley DB but currently discards log files that are no longer in use. This means that DB's catastrophic recovery cannot be used (normal recovery can be used, and indeed the server does this automatically on startup). .PP It is suggested that instead you just back up the output of .BR disorder-dump (8), which saves only the parts of the database that cannot be regenerated automatically, and thus has relatively modest storage requirements. .SH SIGNALS .TP 8 .B SIGHUP Re-read the configuration file. .TP .B SIGTERM Terminate the daemon gracefully. .TP .B SIGINT Terminate the daemon gracefully. .PP It may be more convenient to perform these operations from the client \fBdisorder\fR(1). .SH FILES .TP .I pkgconfdir/config Global configuration file. See \fBdisorder_config\fR(5). .TP .I pkgconfdir/config.private Private configuration (usernames and passwords). .TP .I ~/.disorder/passwd Per-user password file. .TP .I pkgstatedir/queue Saved copy of queue. Do not edit while the daemon is running. .TP .I pkgstatedir/recent Saved copy of recently played track list. Do not edit while the daemon is running. .TP .I pkgstatedir/prefs.db Preferences database. .TP .I pkgstatedir/global.db Global preferences database. .TP .I pkgstatedir/search.db Search lookup database. .TP .I pkgstatedir/tags.db Tag lookup database. .TP .I pkgstatedir/tracks.db Tracks database. .TP .I pkgstatedir/DB_CONFIG Berkeley DB configuration file. This may be used to override database settings without recompiling DisOrder. See the Berkeley DB documention for further details. .TP .I pkgstatedir/log.* \fRand \fIpkgstatedir/__db.* Database internal files. .TP .I pkgstatedir/socket Communication socket for \fBdisorder\fR(1). .TP .I pkgstatedir/lock Lockfile. This prevents multiple instances of DisOrder running simultaneously. .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP .B LC_ALL\fR, \fBLANG\fR, etc Current locale. See \fBlocale\fR(7). .SH "SEE ALSO" \fBdisorder\fR(1), \fBdisorder_config\fR(5), \fBdisorder-dump\fR(8) .\" Local Variables: .\" mode:nroff .\" End:
