# lava-master(1)

run the LAVA master dispatcher as a daemon

" "LAVA Server"

## NAME

lava-master - run the LAVA master dispatcher as a daemon

## SUMMARY

**lava-master** provides daemonisation support for the zeromq master dispatcher 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-master** passes all arguments down to the wrapped process, in the case of LAVA, this is **lava-server manage dispatcher-master**.

## OPTIONS

Options can be passed by editing /etc/lava-server/lava-master

## LIMITATIONS

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

```
PIDFILE = '/var/run/lava-master.pid'
LOGFILE = '/var/log/lava-server/lava-master.log'
```

## SYSTEMD SUPPORT

The default install uses systemd translation of the sysvinit script but a systemd service file is available, if desired:

```
/usr/share/lava-server/lava-master.service
```

This file can be copied to **/lib/systemd/system/**.
