    .SH "DESCRIPTION"
    \fBslurmdbd\fR provides a secure enterprise\-wide interface to a database
    for Slurm. This is particularly useful for archiving accounting records.

    .SH "OPTIONS"

    .TP
    \fB\-D\fR
    Run \fBslurmdbd\fR in the foreground with logging copied to stdout.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-h\fR
    Help; print a brief summary of command options.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-n <value>\fR
    Set the daemon's nice value to the specified value, typically a negative number.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-R[comma separated cluster name list]\fR
    Reset the lft and rgt values of the associations in the given cluster list.
    Lft and rgt values are used to distinguish hierarchical groups in the slurm
    accounting database.  This option should be very rarely used.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-s\fR
    Change working directory of slurmdbd to LogFile path if possible, or to /var/tmp
    otherwise.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-v\fR
    Verbose operation. Multiple \fBv\fR's can be specified, with each '\fBv\fR'
    beyond the first increasing verbosity, up to 6 times (i.e. \-vvvvvv).
    .IP

    .TP
    \fB\-V\fR
    Print version information and exit.
    .IP

    .SH "CORE FILE LOCATION"
    If slurmdbd is started with the \fB\-D\fR option then the core file will be
    written to the current working directory.
    Otherwise if \fBLogFile\fR in "slurmdbd.conf" is a fully qualified
    path name (starting with a slash), the core file will be written to
    the same directory as the log file, provided SlurmUser has write
    \fBslurmdbd\fR will perform a core dump, then exit.  In\-progress operations
    are killed.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fBSIGHUP\fR
    Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol reconfigure'.
    .IP

    .TP
    \fBSIGUSR2\fR
    Reread the log level from the configs, and then reopen the log file.  This
    should be used when setting up \fBlogrotate\fR(8).
    .IP

    .TP
    \fBSIGCHLD SIGUSR1 SIGTSTP SIGXCPU SIGQUIT SIGPIPE SIGALRM\fR
    These signals are explicitly ignored.
    .IP

    .SH "NOTES"
    It may be useful to experiment with different \fBslurmctld\fR specific
    configuration parameters using a distinct configuration file
    (e.g. timeouts).  However, this special configuration file will not be
    used by the \fBslurmd\fR daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you
    specifically tell each of them to use it. If you desire changing
    communication ports, the location of the temporary file system, or
    other parameters used by other Slurm components, change the common
    configuration file, \fBslurm.conf\fR.
