NAME
     KernelEventAgent -- utility to provide user interface on behalf of the kernel

SYNOPSIS
     KernelEventAgent [-dv] [-f fsname] [-t timeout]

DESCRIPTION
     The KernelEventAgent utility is responsible for displaying disk full and unresponsive file server mes-sages. messages.
     sages.  It is not intended to be run directly, but rather started by the system.  The few options it
     has are intended as debugging aids.  Typically, allowing the system to start KernelEventAgent by
     itself, without any additional options, is the ideal configuration.

     The options are as follows:

     -d    Debug mode.  Do not fork into a detached process, and write messages to stderr as well as the
           system log.

     -v    Verbose mode.  System messages of LOG_INFO level and LOG_DEBUG level are raised to the LOG_NOTICE
           level.

     -f fsname
           The file system identified by fsname is also passed the timeout value via the VFS_CTL_TIMEO
           sysctl.

     -t timeout
           The timeout value, specified in seconds, is the amount of time to wait before the user is noti-fied notified
           fied again after dismissing notice of an unresponsive network mount point.
