NAME
       abrtd - automated bug reporting tool's daemon

SYNOPSIS
       abrtd [-dsv[v]...]

DESCRIPTION
       abrtd  is  a  daemon  that  watches  for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it collects the crash data (core file,
       application's command line etc.)  and takes action according to the type of application that crashed and according to the
       configuration  in  the  abrt.conf  config file. There are plugins for various actions: for example to report the crash to
       Bugzilla, to mail the report, or to transfer the report via FTP or SCP. See the manual pages for the respective plugins.

OPTIONS
       -d

              Stay in the foreground and log to standard error.

       -s

              Log to system log even with option -d.

       -v

              Log more detailed debugging information.

CAVEATS
       When you use some other crash-catching tool specific for an application or an application type (for example BugBuddy  for
       GNOME  applications),  crashes  of  this  type will be handled by that tool and not by abrtd. If you want abrtd to handle
       these crashes, turn off the higher-level crash-catching tool.
