MYTHZMSERVER(1)

💖 MYTHZMSERVER 💖

okay so bestie, we're looking at mythzmserver from the User Commands section (that's section 1, iykyk) — the MythTV Zoneminder server. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

mythzmserver — the MythTV Zoneminder server, periodt 💅

literally the whole vibe in one line ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: if you come at this thing asking for --help, it does not play. it hits you with:

Invalid argument: --help

rude? a little. iconic? also yes. 😭

but then it does hand you the goods anyway. it says:

Valid options are:

• -p or --port number — the port number to listen on. the default is 6548, no cap. 🎀
• -d or --daemon — runs mythzmserver as a daemon (aka it ghosts you and goes to the background, lowkey main character energy 👑).
• -n or --nodaemon — does not run mythzmserver as a daemon. this is the default, so it stays right there with you 🫶.
• -c or --zmconfig — location of zoneminder's default config file. the default is /etc/zm/zm.conf. 📁
• -o or --zmoverrideconfig — location of zoneminder's override config file. the default is /etc/zm/conf.d/01-system-paths.conf. ✨
• -l or --logfile filename — writes STDERR and STDOUT messages to filename. so it stops yapping into the void and actually writes it down 💀
• -v or --verbose — prints more debug output. for when you're nosy and you need every detail 🔍

ngl, all of this arrived under the Invalid argument: --help banner, so like… the help comes with a little side of sass. that's just the vibe. 🙈

okay and that's the whole page — every flag, every default, every path, preserved like the little collectors' item it is 🦋
