💖 Day Planner Daemon(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for the Day Planner daemon — section 1 of the manual, the user commands zone, periodt. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Day Planner daemon — the reminding daemon for Day Planner. it literally just sits there and reminds you of stuff. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dayplanner-daemon [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole thing. options go in, vibes come out ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is the Day Planner daemon. it gets started by the main Day Planner program — like, Day Planner is the one who pulls up and says "hey bestie, your shift starts now" — and ngl it is almost never neccesary to call it manually. like, almost never. so if you're out here typing dayplanner-daemon into your terminal for funsies, that's a choice 💅

and when it needs to actually tell you something, it calls dayplanner-notifier(1) to display the notifications to you. it doesn't do the talking itself, it delegates. queen shit 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — displays the help screen. your little "what do i do now" moment 🥺
  • -v, --version — displays version information. the receipts, basically.
  • -t, --test N — starts in test mode. go read the --test documentation in dayplanner(1) for the deets, i'm not gonna steal their whole thing ✨
  • --dayplannerdir DIR — uses the directory DIR instead of the default Day Planner configuration directory. also see --test and --confdir in dayplanner(1). it's giving "i'll put my stuff somewhere else actually" 🎀
  • -k, --kill — shuts down the currently running daemon. bye bestie, it was real 💀
  • -n, --nofork — don't fork. stay in the foreground. main character energy, refuses to leave the room 🫶
  • -f, --force-fork — force forking. overrides --nofork. yes, it really does just say "no, we're forking" and win the argument 🔥
  • -v, --verbose — be verbose. supply it multiple times to increase verbosity. this goes to the daemon log if --nofork was not supplied. yes, -v is doing double duty here for both --version and --verbose, that's just how it is, i don't make the rules 😭
also lowkey note the vibes: -f beats -n. --force-fork overrides --nofork. periodt.
