conmand  is  the  daemon  responsible  for managing consoles defined by its configuration file as well as
       listening for connections from clients.

       ConMan is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the  terms  of  the  GNU  General
       Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your
       option) any later version.

       conmand - ConMan daemon

       Log messages are sent to standard-error until after the configuration file has been read, at  which  time
       future  messages  are  discarded  unless  either  the  logfile  or syslog keyword has been specified (see
       conman.conf(5)).

       If the configuration file is modified while the daemon is  running  and  a  pidfile  was  not  originally
       specified,  the  '-k'  and  '-r'  options may be unable to identify the daemon process; consequently, the
       appropriate signal may need to be sent to the daemon manually.

       The number of consoles that can be simultaneously managed is  limited  by  the  maximum  number  of  file
       descriptors  a process can have open.  The daemon sets its "nofile" soft limit to the maximum/hard limit.
       If you are encountering "too many open files" errors, you may need to increase the "nofile" hard limit.

-cfile
              Specify a configuration file, overriding the default location [/etc/conman.conf].

       -F     Run the daemon in the foreground.

       -h     Display a summary of the command-line options.

       -k     Send a SIGTERM to the conmand process associated with the specified configuration, thereby killing
              the daemon.  Returns 0 if the daemon was successfully signaled; otherwise, returns 1.

       -L     Display license information.

       -pport
              Specify the port on which conmand will listen for clients, overriding both the default port [7890]
              and the port specified in the configuration file.

       -Pfile
              Specify the PID file for storing the daemon's PID, overriding the "serverpidfile"  directive  in
              the configuration file.

       -q     Displays  the PID of the conmand process associated with the specified configuration if it appears
              active.  Returns 0 if the configuration appears active; otherwise, returns 1.

       -r     Send a SIGHUP to the conmand process associated with  the  specified  configuration,  thereby  re-
              opening both that daemon's log file and individual console log files.  Returns 0 if the daemon was
              successfully signaled; otherwise, returns 1.

       -v     Enable verbose mode.

       -V     Display version information.

       -z     Truncate both the daemon's log file and individual console log files at start-up.

       Connections  to  the  server  are not authenticated, and communications between client and server are not
       encrypted.  Until this is addressed in a future release, the  recommendation  is  to  bind  the  server's
       listen  socket  to  the loopback address (by specifying "serverloopback=on" in conman.conf) and restrict
       access to the server host.

SIGHUP      Close  and  re-open  both  the  daemon's  log  file  and  the  individual  console log files.
                   Conversion specifiers within filenames will be re-evaluated.  This is  useful  for  logrotate
                   configurations.

       SIGTERM     Terminate the daemon.
