buildd-watcher - watch buildd activity

buildd-watcher

This man page documents the packaged version of buildd-watcher. This version is maintained by the buildd-tools project developers on Alioth (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/).

There is also a version maintained by Ryan Murray which is adapted to build daemon needs, with similar functionality. This version should be equally capable of working in a buildd setup, but has a number of enhancements aimed at making it suitable for use by end-users.

buildd-watcher monitors the activity of the buildd daemon and restarts it if required. It additionally cleans up old files, and rotates and archives log files.

/etc/buildd/buildd.conf
Configuration, maintained by the system administrator. This may be used to override the defaults.
