# supysonic-daemon(1)

Supysonic background daemon

## NAME

supysonic-daemon - Supysonic background daemon

## SYNOPSIS

supysonic-daemon

## DESCRIPTION

**supysonic-daemon** is an optional non-exiting process made to be ran in the background to manage background scans, library changes detection and the jukebox mode (audio played on the server hardware).

If **supysonic-daemon** is running when you start a manual scan using **supysonic-cli**, the scan will be run by the daemon process in the background instead of running in the foreground. This daemon also enables the web UI scan feature.

With proper configuration, **supysonic-daemon** also allows authorized users to play audio on the machine's hardware, using their client as a remote control.

## BUGS

Bugs can be reported to your distribution's bug tracker or upstream at *https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic/issues*.
