All +notices sent from programs on the client are funneled through +.I zhm. +This allows all client programs to be much simpler in function, since +the HostManager is responsible for handling errors, retransmitting +lost notices, and holding all notices until they are acknowledged. +.PP +The +.I -d +option turns on debugging mode, and sends its information to syslog +LOG_DAEMON messages. +.PP +The +.I -n +option causes zhm to not attempt to put itself in the background. +.PP +The +.I -h +option causes +.I zhm +to send a shutdown message and exit upon delivery of a SIGHUP signal. +The normal action on SIGHUP is to send a flush notice to the zephyr server. +.PP +The +.I -r +option causes +.I zhm +to send a boot notice to the server and exit when the notice is acknowledged. +.PP +The +.I -i +option indicates that +.I zhm +is being started by +.I inetd(8). +When this option is specified, +.I zhm +assumes that file descriptor zero (0) is bound to the UDP datagram port +designated for hostmanager use. In this mode, SIGHUP is handled as if the +.I -h +option were specified. +.PP +The +.I -f +option disables the "flush" operation which allows any client to flush +all subscriptions for the host. +.PP +The +.I -N +option supresses the initial "boot" message that flushes all subscriptions +for the host, which is useful if you're restarting zhm on a host that +people are using. +.PP +The optional +.I server +arguments are used to replace the set of server names supplied by +the +.I hesiod(3) +name server. +.SH SEE ALSO +zephyr(1), zephyrd(8), inetd(8) +.br +Project Athena Technical Plan Section E.4.1, `Zephyr Notification +Service' +.SH AUTHOR +.PP +David C.
