47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Nm
49monitors SCSI Environmental Services (or SAF-TE) devices for changes
50in state and logs such changes changes to the system error logger
51(see
52.Xr syslogd 8 ) .
53At least one device must be specified.
54When no other options are supplied,
55.Nm
56detaches and becomes a daemon, by default waking up every 30 seconds to
57poll each device for a change in state.
58.Pp
59The following options may be used:
60.Bl -tag -width Ds
61.It Fl d
62Instead of detaching and becoming a daemon, stay attached to the
63controlling terminal and log changes there as well as via the system
64logger.
65.It Fl t Ar poll-interval
66Change the interval of polling from the default 30 seconds to the number
67of seconds specified.

73or objects within the enclosure device.
