zmdc.pl − ZoneMinder Daemon Control script
zmdc.pl {command} [daemon [options]]
This script is the gateway for controlling the various ZoneMinder daemons. All starting, stopping and restarting goes through here. On the first invocation it starts up a server which subsequently records what’s running and what’s not. Other invocations just connect to the server and pass instructions to it.
{command} − One of ’startup|shutdown|status|check|logrot’ or ’start|stop|restart|reload|version’. [daemon [options]] − Daemon name and options, required for second group of commands
