TOADD(8)

NAME
toadd - optical medium detection daemon for toad(8)

SYNOPSIS
toadd [-d] [-w wait]

DESCRIPTION
toadd is an optical medium detection daemon that works in conjunction with the toad(8) automounter. It will detect the insertion of a medium in the optical drives of the machine (maximum 2) by periodically reading their disklabel(8).

The options are as follows:

-d  Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, toadd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.

-w wait
    Pause wait seconds between each device poll (max: 60). If this option is omitted toadd will poll every 8 seconds.

When a medium is inserted or ejected, toadd will call toad(8) with the attach or detach argument respectively.

To start toadd at boot time using the rc.d(8) framework, the following variable can be added to rc.conf.local(5):

    toadd_flags=

CAVEATS
Some drives are not meant to be polled this frequently and it may be possible to damage them by using toadd.
