Usage: smgmd [OPTIONS] &
Options:
  -c FILE   Read configuration from FILE instead of /etc/smgmd.
  -t        Don't start any auto-start services on starting.
            They can be manually started, though.
  -n        Don't start any services, just load the config file
            and prepare everything (except for pipe and pid files), then abort.
