SYNOPSIS

zmdc.pl {command} [daemon [options]]

DESCRIPTION

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.
