NAME
       ircdwatch - Daemon for monitoring ircd and ircd.conf

SYNOPSIS
       ircdwatch
              [ --kill ] [ --rest ] [ --help ]

DESCRIPTION
       ircdwatch is a daemon that periodically checks that the ircd daemon is
       running, restarting it of necessary.  This daemon can also be
       configured (at compile time) to check for changes to the ircd
       configuration file and make ircd reload its configuration file by
       sending it a SIGHUP signal.

       Given command line arguments ircdwatch will serve as a remote control
       for stopping both ircdwatch and ircd or just ircdwatch.

OPTIONS
       --kill Stop both ircd and ircdwatch

       --rest Stop ircdwatch but leave ircd running

       --help List command line arguments
