.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
Sysconfd is part of an experimental and soon-to-be-deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism for distributing system status change messages. It
|
|
|
|
|
is currently used only by the DHCP client. Sysconfd acts as a
|
|
|
|
|
broadcast mechanism for status messages - a single sender can send
|
|
|
|
|
a message to sysconfd, and sysconfd will then send it to all subscribers.
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use statmsg, sysconfd must be running.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
|
|
|
