Startup Notes

To enable the operation of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers, Dr.Web ConfigD must run as a daemon. During the standard booting, Dr.Web ConfigD starts automatically at the start of the operating system; for this purpose Dr.Web ConfigD comes together with a standard management script drweb-configd located in the standard OS directory (for GNU/Linux—/etc/init.d/; for FreeBSD—/usr/local/etc/rc.d/). To manage the operation of the component, you can use the Dr.Web Ctl command-line-based management tool for Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers (it is called by using the drweb-ctl command).

To request documentation about this component of the product from the command line, use the following command man 1 drweb-configd.
