45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46.Nm
47monitors SCSI Environmental Services (or SAF-TE) devices for changes
48in state and logs such changes to the system error logger
49(see
50.Xr syslogd 8 ) .
51At least one device must be specified.
52When no other options are supplied,
53.Nm
54detached becomes a daemon, by default waking up every 30 seconds to
55poll each device for a change in state.
56.Pp
57The following options may be used:
58.Bl -tag -width Ds
59.It Fl p Ar poll-interval
60Change the interval of polling from the default 30 seconds to the number
61of seconds specified.
62.It Fl d
63Instead of detaching and becoming a daemon, stay attached to the
64controlling terminal and log changes there as well as via the system
65logger.
