# lr\_spoold(1)

daemon, invoking lr\_spool for all services periodically

## NAME

lr\_spoold - daemon, invoking lr\_spool for all services periodically

## SYNOPSIS

**lr\_spoold**

## DESCRIPTION

**lr\_spoold** is typically invoked from a init script after booting the system.

It should be started as

```
 lr_run lr_spoold
```

under the Lire useraccount.  This is used to keep an online responder running. See the "Responder Installation" section in the "Installing Lire" chapter of the Lire User Manual for details.

**lr\_spoold** invokes [**lr\_check\_service**(1)](/lr_check_service/1.md) to get a list of services, which are used as addresses for an online responder. For each address *$service* in this list, it runs

```
  lr_spool $spooldir lr_processmail $service
```

periodically. `$spooldir` gets constructed using profile\_lean and the address.

Typically, spooldir is a Maildir's \`new' subdirectory, like e.g.

```
 .../var/spool/lire/$address/Maildir/new/
```

.

In effect, we make it possible to invoke lr\_processmail with the right arguments for each message, so that logfiles in the messages get processed by the right 2dlf convertor.
