man hald (Administration système) - daemon for Hardware Abstraction Layer
NAME
hald - daemon for Hardware Abstraction Layer
SYNOPSIS
hald [--daemon=yes|no] [--verbose=yes|no] [--retain-privileges] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
The HAL daemon detects devices present in the system and provides the org.freedesktop.Hal service through D-BUS.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
- -h, --help
- Show summary of options.
- --daemon=yes|no
- By default, hald detaches from the current tty and starts running in the background, thus becoming a daemon. You can suppress this behaviour by using no here.
- --retain-privileges
- Run as root instead of normal user (calling of external scripts to modify fstab etc. will not work when not running as root)
- --verbose=yes|no
- hald prints out debug information when this is set to yes.
