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

64 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
68 to exit gracefully\&. Since state about and IPC access to the subprocesses is only maintained in memory by
70 this is desired behaviour\&. As soon as
74 processes will transparently reconnect\&.
