dqcache-start(8)

💖 dqcache-start — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual for dqcache-start, from the System Manager's Manual section 8 (that's the sysadmin one, iykyk). it's a lil wrapper script and honestly it's giving personal assistant energy: it does the boring setup bits so the actual daemon can just show up and slay. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dqcache-start — literally just a wrapper for the dqcache daemon 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dqcache-start root-directory account child

three args, no more, no less. she's low maintenance fr.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so dqcache was designed to run under daemontools — that's its whole origin story. but dqcache-start is the wrapper that lets you run it under, like, anything else too, e.g. systemd. it's the adapter, the translator, the friend who talks to the other friend. 💅

here's what dqcache-start actually does when you run it:

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

that's it. that's the whole job. no cap.

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

dqcache-start /etc/dqcache/root dqcache dqcache

there she is. root-directory first, then account, then child. periodt. 💖

and yeah — this is dqcache-start(8), straight from the System Manager's Manual (no fancy version number or date on this one, it's a minimalist queen 🙈). mwah 💜
