altqd is a daemon program that reads a configuration file and then sets up the ALTQ state of network interfaces. After configuring the ALTQ state,
altqd will detach and become a daemon.
The signals
SIGINT or
SIGTERM will shutdown
altqd, and the signal
SIGHUP will restart
altqd.
The following options are available:
-d
Debug mode. altqd does not detach and goes into the command mode.
-f conf_file
Specify a configuration file to read instead of the default. The default file is /etc/altq.conf.
-v
Print debugging information. This option implies -d.
