PMD(1)                                                     PMD(1)



NAME
       pmd - pm scheduler

SYNOPSIS
       pmd

DESCRIPTION
       pmd  is a simply wrapper around pm.  Instead of calling pm
       with a high frequency cron job it can be run from pmd.

       pmd reads the desired cycle time (the  minimal  acceptable
       cycle  time  is  60 seconds) from the cycle option in pm's
       configuration file /etc/pm.conf and  runs  pm  that  often
       sleeping the time till the next run.

       If your system monitoring relys on pmd you may want to add

          */15 *  * * *  /usr/local/sbin/pm -c

       to your root's crontab.  This entry runs pm every 15  min-
       utes letting it check if pmd is still running or not.

OPTIONS
       pmd doesn't have any options.

SEE ALSO
       pm(1).
