-.. option:: -s command, --start-command command
-
- Supply a Bourne shell command to start a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be sub‐ stituted with the daemon name.
-
-.. option:: -k command, --kill-command command
-
- Supply a Bourne shell command to stop a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
-
-.. option:: -r command, --restart command
-

-Other options:
.. option:: --dry
Display the usage information and exit.
+The following 3 options specify scripts that |DAEMON| uses to perform start/stop/restart actions. Reasonable default values are built into watchfrr, so the use of these options should no longer be necessary:
+
+.. option:: -s command, --start-command command
+
+ Supply a Bourne shell command to start a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -k command, --kill-command command
+
+ Supply a Bourne shell command to stop a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -r command, --restart command
+
+ Supply a Bourne shell command to restart a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.

PREVIOUS OPTIONS
================
Prior versions of |DAEMON| supported some additional options that no longer exist:::
bfdd_options=" --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"
# The list of daemons to watch is automatically generated by the init script.
- watchfrr_enable=yes
- watchfrr_options=(-d -r /usr/sbin/servicebBfrrbBrestartbB%s -s /usr/sbin/servicebBfrrbBstartbB%s -k /usr/sbin/servicebBfrrbBstopbB%s -b bB)
+ #watchfrr_options=""
- # If valgrind_enable is 'yes' the frr daemons will be started via valgrind.
- # The use case for doing so is tracking down memory leaks, etc in frr.
- valgrind_enable=no
- valgrind=/usr/bin/valgrind
+ # for debugging purposes, you can specify a "wrap" command to start instead
+ # of starting the daemon directly, e.g. to use valgrind on ospfd:
+ # ospfd_wrap="/usr/bin/valgrind"
+ # or you can use "all_wrap" for all daemons, e.g. to use perf record:
+ # all_wrap="/usr/bin/perf record --call-graph -"
+ # the normal daemon command is added to this at the end.

-Whether or not to start FRR daemons under Valgrind. This is primarily useful
-for gathering information for bug reports and for developers.
-``valgrind_enable`` should be ``no`` for production use.
