✨ dqcache-start — the lil' wrapper that gets ur dqcache daemon up and running ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to dqcache-start(1) from the General Commands Manual 💖 this is the little glow-up page for a tiny command that does Big Things for ur DNS.

🎀 NAME 🎀

dqcache-start — a wrapper for the dqcache daemon 🫶

it's giving "middle management" but in the best way possible, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dqcache-start root-directory account child

three little args, one big slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the lore: dqcache was designed to run under daemontools. iconic, yes, but not everyone lives that lifestyle. dqcache-start is a wrapper and it allows running under, like, e.g. systemd. so now u have options, bestie. main character energy either way. ✨

and here's what it actually does, fr fr:

  • it sets the $ROOT, $UID and $GID env. variables 👑
  • it sets appropriate permissions in the $ROOT directory 🔐
  • and then it runs dqcache 🚀

literally it does the boring setup so ur daemon can just vibe. periodt.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the moment u've been waiting for:

dqcache-start /etc/dqcache/root dqcache dqcache

look at that. root-directory goes first, then the account, then the child. ate and left no crumbs. 🍓

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

💀 reminder for my fellow gremlins: dqcache-start doesn't do the daemon's job, it just sets up $ROOT, $UID, $GID, fixes perms in $ROOT, and launches dqcache. don't @ me, that's the whole plot.
