kuncd

NAME
     kuncd -- The Kernel User Notification Center daemon.

DESCRIPTION
     The Kernel User Notification Center daemon handles requests by software
     executing in the kernel to display notices and alerts to the user.  The
     daemon also handles kernel reqeusts to execute user-space helper tools.

     The daemon is launched by mach_init(8) when a request has been received
     from the kernel and will exit 15 seconds after the last request has been
     processed.

     The daemon cannot be used directly by the user.

SIGNALS
     SIGTERM  This signal will result in the daemon unregistering itself from
              mach_init and exiting.  Once it is unregistered, it will not run
              again until it is reregistered.

SEE ALSO
     mach_init(8)

HISTORY
     The kuncd daemon was introduced in Mac OS X 10.3.

NOTES
     This daemon and its current behavior may change without notice.  Do not
