# radwatch(8)

wrapper for radiusd

## NAME

radwatch - wrapper for radiusd

## SYNOPSIS

**radwatch** *\[*options*\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper for *radiusd*. It starts the radius server, then waits for it to terminate, which should never happen. If it does happen, **radwatch** sends a notification email to *root* about the event, waits 10 seconds, then restarts the server.

This script **SHOULD NOT BE USED**!  It's only here for historical purposes, and WILL be deleted in a future version of the the server.

Please see '*doc/supervise-radiusd.txt*' for info on methods of supervising your radius installation.

## OPTIONS

Passed directly to the radius server - see the manpage of **radiusd**.
