kuncd(8)                                 BSD System Manager's Manual                                kuncd(8)

NAME
     kuncd -- The Kernel User Notification Center daemon.

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

     The daemon is launched by launchd(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 launchd and exiting.  Once it
              is unregistered, it will not run again until it is reregistered.

SEE ALSO
     launchd(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 rely on its existence or its
     behavior.  Consider it an unsupported command.
