emond(8)                                 BSD System Manager's Manual                                emond(8)

NAME
     emond -- Event Monitor Daemon

SYNOPSIS
     emond [-r path] [-c path]

DESCRIPTION
     emond accepts events from various services, runs them through a simple rules engine, and takes action.
     The actions can run commands; send email, or SMS messages.

     Options:

     -r path_to_rules
              Tells emond to look for rules files in the specified path. The path may refer to either a file
              or a directory. If the path refers to a directory, then all files with a .plist extension in
              that directory will be loaded.

     -c path_to_config
              Tells emond to look in specified path for its config file.

FILES
     /etc/emond.d/rules/                           Default directory where emond looks for rules.
     /etc/emond.d/emond.plist                      the plist formatted config file
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.emond.plist
                                                   the launchd config file
