12 <h2>Command Line Arguments
</h2>
14 The
<tt>polypaudio
</tt> daemon accepts several command line arguments:
16 <p><tt>-L MODULE
</tt>: Load the specified module. This option may be specified more than once.
</p>
17 <p><tt>-F FILE
</tt>: Run the specified script. This option may be specified more than once.
</p>
18 <p><tt>-C
</tt>: Load the module
<a href=
"modules.html#module-cli"><tt>module-cli
</tt></a> after startup.
</p>
19 <p><tt>-D
</tt>: Daemonize after successfully executing all scripts and loading all modules.
</p>
20 <p><tt>-f
</tt>: Unless this option is given the daemon will terminate if any of the specified modules failed to load or the script didn't execute successfully.
</p>
21 <p><tt>-v
</tt>: Increase the verbosity of the daemon.
</p>
22 <p><tt>-h
</tt>: Show a quick help.
</p>
26 <p>It is a good idea to run the daemon like this:
</p>
28 <pre>polypaudio -D -F /etc/polypaudio/polypaudio.pa
</pre>
30 <p><tt>/etc/polypaudio/polypaudio.pa
</tt> should be a script written in the CLI language described in
<a href=
"cli.html">cli.html
</a>
34 <p>The following signals are trapped specially:
</p>
38 <p>The daemon is shut down cleanly.
</p>
42 <p>The daemon tries to load the module
<a href=
"modules.html#module-cli"><tt>module-cli
</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on the calling TTY.
</p>
46 <p>The daemon tries to load the module
<a href=
"modules.html#module-cli-protocol-unix"><tt>module-cli-protocol-unix
</tt></a>, effectively providing a command line interface on a special UNIX domain socket.
