.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
The dudki.conf file is a runtime configuration file for the dudki
process monitoring daemon. It contains the information about the process
being monitored and the instruction on how to cope with the processes.
.SH FILE FORMAT
The file consist of the global configuration and per-process
configuration sections. The global configuration controls general
dudki behaviour and sets defaults for per-process configuration
directives.

.TP
\fBCheckInterval\fR \fIseconds\fR
Specifies interval in seconds at wich dudki performs checks.
.TP
\fBDaemonize\fR \fIon/off\fR
Specifies whether dudki daemon should fork itself into background.
Normally, you don't want it to run in foreground. Unless you want to run
it from \fIinit(8)\fR process (I've nevetr tried it) via
\fIinittab(5)\fR.
.TP
\fBPidFile\fR \fIfilename\fR
Specifies where to store dudki's process id (default is
/var/run/dudki.pid)
.TP
\fBMailtoHeader\fR \fIheader\fR \fIcontent\fR

Per-process configuration sections specifies the processes to monitor.
And parameters pertaining to the process.
.TP
\fBPidFile\fR \fIfilename\fR
Specifies the file where to fetch process id of the process being

specified by the pid stored in the file signifies the process death and
triggers restart.
.TP
+\fBProcessName\fR \fIprocess name\fR
