TOMOYO-NOTIFYD(8)

💖 TOMOYO-NOTIFYD 💖

okay bestie, so this is the policy violation notification daemon for TOMOYO Linux, aka the little guy whose whole job is making sure you know when something's going down. manual name is tomoyo-notifyd, section 8, system administration utilities vibes. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

tomoyo-notifyd — policy violation notification daemon for TOMOYO Linux 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tomoyo-notifyd

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she just runs. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this program's entire personality is: it notifies the system administrator when policy violations happen in domains that are set to enforcing mode. no cap, that's the job.

and the notification method? literally anything you want, bestie. any arbitrary command at all. sending mail? iconic. whatever. you configure this daemon in /etc/tomoyo/tools/notifyd.conf 💅

why does that matter? because it makes it possible to be notified about policy violations as soon as possible, which means you can actually take subsequent action instead of finding out three weeks later like 😭. the whole point is speed, fr fr.

start this program from an appropriate stage during startup — for example /etc/rc.local. 🌸

okay important one: if you wish to freeze a process using the "time_to_wait" directive, you must register this program in /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/manager. like, mandatory mandatory. not optional, bestie. 🙈

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here's the classic — send mail to root:

time_to_wait 0
action_to_take mail -s Notification\040from\040tomoyo-notifyd root@localhost
minimal_interval 60

and hey, see the configuration file for more information about the syntax, because there's more where that came from. 📖

💀 BUGS 💀

if you find any bugs, send an email to <tomoyo-users-en@lists.osdn.me>. they wanna hear about it, fr.
