KYLIN-PROCESS-MANAGER-DAEMON(1)

📦 version 4.10.0.1, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

kylin-process-manager-daemon — the Kylin resource-management daemon 💖 (it's the one holding the whole vibe together, no cap)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kylin-process-manager-daemon [OPTIONS]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay bestie, listen. kylin-process-manager-daemon is THE core resource-management daemon of the Kylin operating system — like, main character energy for real. Its whole job is monitoring and managing how much resource every process on the system is eating up, including the allocation and limiting of CPU, memory, and I/O. 👑

This daemon usually just runs automatically when the system boots up, because obviously it's that girl. And the way it works — it teams up with other process-management tools (think cpulimit_fork, kylin-process-manager-cleaner, and friends) to do dynamic regulation of system resources, so everything stays stable and runs efficiently. Slay. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you the help info and then dips out. 🫶
  • -v, --version — shows the version info and exits, cute and quick.
  • -d, --debug — turns on debug mode, which means it spills detailed runtime logs. Perfect when you need to see everything. 👀
  • -c, --config FILE — tells it which config file to use (default: /etc/kylin/process-manager.conf).
  • -l, --log FILE — tells it where to put the log file (default: /var/log/kylin-process-manager/daemon.log).
  • -p, --pid-file FILE — tells it where the PID file lives (default: /var/run/kylin-process-manager/daemon.pid).

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Starting the daemon and loading the default config, like a normal day:

kylin-process-manager-daemon

Turning on debug mode and pointing it at a custom log file — chaotic but iconic:

kylin-process-manager-daemon -d -l /tmp/daemon-debug.log

Just wanna check the version? Say less:

kylin-process-manager-daemon -v

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /etc/kylin/process-manager.conf — the default config file 💖
  • /var/log/kylin-process-manager/daemon.log — the default log file 📝
  • /var/run/kylin-process-manager/daemon.pid — the PID file 🆔
