hald − daemon for Hardware Abstraction Layer
hald [−−daemon=yes|no] [−−verbose=yes|no] [−−retain−privileges] [−−help]
The HAL daemon detects devices present in the system and provides the org.freedesktop.Hal service through D−BUS.
These programs
follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (’−’). A summary
of options is included below.
−h, −−help
Show summary of options.
−−daemon=yes|no
By default, hald detaches from the current tty and starts running in the background, thus becoming a daemon. You can suppress this behaviour by using no here.
−−retain−privileges
Run as root instead of normal user (calling of external scripts to modify fstab etc. will not work when not running as root)
−−verbose=yes|no
hald prints out debug information when this is set to yes.
