| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | httimed - Ashd handler expiration pipe | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | *httimed* [*-h*] [*-t* 'TIMEOUT'] 'CHILD' ['ARGS'...] | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | The *httimed* handler starts a single child handler which it passes | |
| 16 | all request it receives unmodified, and in addition keeps track of | |
| 17 | time and simply exits if no requests are received in a certain | |
| 18 | interval, which might be useful for handlers which are only rarely | |
| 19 | used and waste unproportionally much system resources if kept beyond | |
| 20 | their usefulness. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | *httimed* is a persistent handler, as defined in *ashd*(7), and the | |
| 23 | specified child handler must also be a persistent handler. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | By default, *httimed* exits if it receives no requests in five | |
| 26 | minutes, but the time interval can be specified using the *-t* option. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | If the child handler exits, *httimed* exits as well. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | OPTIONS | |
| 31 | ------- | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | *-h*:: | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Print a brief help message to standard output and exit. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | *-t* 'TIMEOUT':: | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Exit if no requests are received after 'TIMEOUT' seconds since | |
| 40 | the last one. If *-t* is not specified, 'TIMEOUT' is five | |
| 41 | minutes by default. | |
