OPTIONS

-a|--crash-dump

: write oscam.crash on segfault (needs installed GDB and OSCam compiled with debug infos -ggdb)

-b|--daemon

: starts in background, writing oscam.version with starttime and version info in temporary directory

-B|--pidfile <filename>

: set PID file, overrides pidfile of oscam.conf, default:none

-c|--config-dir <directory>

: read configuration from <directory>, default:see CS_CONFDIR in globals.h, while starting OSCam prints warnings on invalid keywords, comment lines start with # character.

-d|--debug <level>

: debug level mask:

     0 = no debugging (default)
     2 = ATR parsing info, ECM dumps, CW dumps
     4 = traffic from/to the reader
     8 = traffic from/to the clients
    16 = traffic to the reader-device on IFD layer
    32 = traffic to the reader-device on I/O layer
    64 = EMM logging
   128 = DVBAPI logging
   256 = load balancing logging
   512 = cache exchange logging
  1024 = client ECM logging
  2048 = CSP logging
  4096 = CWC logging
65535 = debug all

-g|--gcollect <mode>

: garbage collector debug mode, default:none:

1 = immediate free
2 = check for double frees

-h|--help

: usage

-I|--syslog-ident <ident>

: set syslog ident, default:oscam

-p|--pending-ecm <number>

: maximum number of pending ECM packets, default:32, maximum:255

-r|--restart <level>

: restart level:

   0 = disabled, restart request sets exit status to 99
   1 = restart activated, web interface can restart oscam (default)
   2 = like 1, but also restart on segmentation faults

-S|--show-sensitive

: do not filter sensitive info (card serial numbers) in the logs

-s|--capture-segfaults

: capture segmentation faults

-t|--temp-dir <directory>

: use <directory> for temporary data, default:temporary directory of OS

-u|--utf8

: enable output of web interface in UTF-8 charset

-V|--build-info

: show OSCam version info

-w|--wait <seconds>

: time waiting for system time to be set correctly

SIGNALS

SIGHUP

: reinit user db, readers, TIERs, services, clients and anti-cascading, for newcamd connections: after reloading the ident, please restart newcamd client

SIGUSR1

: shift debug level to next level (see debug level mask above)

SIGUSR2

: get reader SC info
