40 waits for requests from
42 to start up instances of the
44 daemon\&. It keeps track of the status of a
46 instance once started and will restart it if necessary\&.
48 is normally started at boot time by
49 \fBnetatalk\fR(8) and runs until shutdown\&.
54 \fBcnid_metad will remain in the foreground and\fR
55 will also leave the standard input, standard output and standard error file descriptors open\&. Useful for debugging\&.

73 does not block or catch any signals apart from SIGPIPE\&. It will therefore exit on most signals received\&. This will also cause all instances of
77 to exit gracefully\&. Since state about and IPC access to the subprocesses is only maintained in memory by
79 this is desired behaviour\&. As soon as
83 processes will transparently reconnect\&.
