# muscand(1)

File scanner daemon for Museek

## NAME

**Muscand** - File scanner daemon for Museek

## SYNOPSIS

**muscand** \[-c \<*filename*\>\] \[--config \<*filename*\>\] \[-b\] \[--buddy\] \[-l\] \[--list\] \[-h\] \[--help\] \[-v\] \[--verbose\] \[--no-reload\]

## DESCRIPTION

Muscand is a FAM service that scans paths already configured by [*muscan*(1)](/muscan/1.md) or [*musetup*(1)](/musetup/1.md). If it detects changes to the paths, it will update the Shares Database it is watching after a few seconds. There are two available shares databases, Normal and Buddies-Only. Buddies-Only is an optional shares database that, if enabled, is only accessible by the users you've chosen as "Buddies".

Before running muscand, you will need a configured museekd,  which can be done with [*musetup*(1)](/musetup/1.md) or fI\>musetup-gtk*(1), and add some shared paths with either of the setup tools or with [muscan(1)](/muscan/1.md).*
