MINIDLNA(1) General Commands Manual MINIDLNA(1)NAME
minidlna -- lightweight DLNA/UPnP-AV server
SYNOPSIS
minidlna [-f config_file] [-d] [-a -listening_ip] [-p port] [-s serial] [-m model_number] [-t notify_interval] [-P pid_filename] [-w url]
[-R]
minidlna [-h | -V]
DESCRIPTION
The minidlna daemon is a DLNA/UPnP-AV server sharing media files (video, music and pictures) to clients on your network. Clients are typi-
cally multimedia players such as vlc, totem and xbmc, and devices such as portable media players, smartphones, televisions, video game enter-
tainment systems and blu-ray players.
OPTIONS
All the options below (except -f) can also be set in a configuration file (see minidlna.conf(5)).
-a listening_ip
IP address the daemon should be listening on.
-d Activate debug mode (do not daemonize).
-f config_file
Specify the location of the configuration file. Uses /etc/minidlna.conf by default.
-h Show help and exit.
-m model_number
Model number the daemon will report to clients in its XML description.
-P pid_filename
PID file to use; the default is /run/minidlna.pid.
-p port
Port number to listen on; the default is port 80.
-R Forces a full rescan of the media files.
-s serial
Serial number the daemon will report to clients in its XML description.
-t notify_interval
Notify interval, in seconds; defaults to 895 seconds.
-V Show the program version and exit.
-w url Sets the presentation url; the default is http address.
FILES
/etc/minidlna.conf
Default system-wide configuration file. See minidlna.conf(5) for details on the syntax.

CONMAND(8) ConMan: The Console Manager CONMAND(8)NAME
conmand - ConMan daemon
SYNOPSIS
conmand [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
conmand is the daemon responsible for managing consoles defined by its configuration file as well as listening for connections from
clients.
OPTIONS -c file
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.
-p port
Specify the port on which conmand will listen for clients, overriding both the default port [7890] and the port specified 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 configu-
ration 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.
SIGNALS
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.
SECURITY
Connections to the server are not authenticated, and communications between client and server are not encrypted. When time allows, this
will be addressed in a future release. Until then, the recommendation is to bind the server's listen socket to the loopback address (by
specifying "server loopback=on" in conman.conf) and restrict access to the server host.
NOTES
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 (cf., 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.
