# lava-daemon(1)

run the LAVA scheduler as a daemon

" "LAVA Server"

## NAME

lava-daemon - run the LAVA scheduler as a daemon

## SUMMARY

**lava-daemon** provides daemonisation support for the scheduler within **lava-server** for compatibility with sysvinit and can be used with other init systems which do not support scripts without internal daemonisation support.

## USAGE

**lava-daemon** passes all arguments down to the wrapped process, in the case of LAVA, this is **lava-server**.

## LIMITATIONS

**lava-daemon** was written for **lava-server** and has some hardcoded values:

```
PIDFILE = '/var/run/lava-server.pid'
LOGFILE = '/var/log/lava-server/lava-scheduler.log'
DAEMON = '/usr/bin/lava-server'
```
