💖 jabberd(8) — the jabberd startup script 💖

okay bestie, settle in, we're talking about jabberd, from the jabberd project. yes it's section 8, yes it's a system thing, no you don't have to be scared. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

jabberd — literally just the jabberd startup script, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jabberd [-h] [-c config] [-D]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so jabberd is a script — a script, not the whole server itself, okay — and what it does is run all the various components that make up the jabberd "server". that's it. that's the job. she's the group chat organizer who makes sure everybody actually shows up. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h — shows you a summary of the options. the "hi bestie, here's what I do" flag. 🎀
• -c — lets you pick an alternate configuration file to use. the compiled-in default is /etc/jabberd2/jabberd.cfg, so if you don't say anything, that's the one she's rolling with. 🌸
• -D — prints debugging output. but heads up: you should configure jabberd with the --enable-debug switch to enable this. so like, it's not just a free flag you can vibe with whenever — the build has to have it turned on first. 🙈
