# bd daemons - Daemon Management
Manage bd daemon processes across all repositories and worktrees.
## Synopsis
```bash
bd daemons <subcommand> [flags]
```
## Description
The `bd daemons` command provides tools for discovering, monitoring, and managing multiple bd daemon processes across your system. This is useful when working with multiple repositories or git worktrees.
## Subcommands
### list
List all running bd daemons with metadata.
```bash
bd daemons list [--search DIRS] [--json] [--no-cleanup]
```
**Flags:**
- `--search` - Directories to search for daemons (default: home, /tmp, cwd)
- `--json` - Output in JSON format
- `--no-cleanup` - Skip auto-cleanup of stale sockets
**Example:**
```bash
bd daemons list
bd daemons list --search /Users/me/projects --json
```
### health
Check health of all bd daemons and report issues.
```bash
bd daemons health [--search DIRS] [--json]
```
Reports:
- Stale sockets (dead processes)
- Version mismatches between daemon and CLI
- Unresponsive daemons
**Flags:**
- `--search` - Directories to search for daemons
- `--json` - Output in JSON format
**Example:**
```bash
bd daemons health
bd daemons health --json
```
### stop
Stop a specific daemon gracefully.
```bash
bd daemons stop <workspace-path|pid> [--json]
```
**Arguments:**
- `<workspace-path|pid>` - Workspace path or PID of daemon to stop
**Flags:**
- `--json` - Output in JSON format
**Example:**
```bash
bd daemons stop /Users/me/projects/myapp
bd daemons stop 12345
bd daemons stop /Users/me/projects/myapp --json
```
### logs
View logs for a specific daemon.
```bash
bd daemons logs <workspace-path|pid> [-f] [-n LINES] [--json]
```
**Arguments:**
- `<workspace-path|pid>` - Workspace path or PID of daemon
**Flags:**
- `-f, --follow` - Follow log output (like tail -f)
- `-n, --lines INT` - Number of lines to show from end (default: 50)
- `--json` - Output in JSON format
**Example:**
```bash
bd daemons logs /Users/me/projects/myapp
bd daemons logs 12345 -n 100
bd daemons logs /Users/me/projects/myapp -f
bd daemons logs 12345 --json
```
### killall
Stop all running bd daemons.
```bash
bd daemons killall [--search DIRS] [--force] [--json]
```
Uses escalating shutdown strategy:
1. RPC shutdown (2 second timeout)
2. SIGTERM (3 second timeout)
3. SIGKILL (1 second timeout)
**Flags:**
- `--search` - Directories to search for daemons
- `--force` - Use SIGKILL immediately if graceful shutdown fails
- `--json` - Output in JSON format
**Example:**
```bash
bd daemons killall
bd daemons killall --force
bd daemons killall --json
```
## Common Use Cases
### Version Upgrade
After upgrading bd, restart all daemons to use the new version:
```bash
bd daemons health # Check for version mismatches
bd daemons killall # Stop all old daemons
# Daemons will auto-start with new version on next bd command
```
### Debugging
Check daemon status and view logs:
```bash
bd daemons list
bd daemons health
bd daemons logs /path/to/workspace -n 100
```
### Cleanup
Remove stale daemon sockets:
```bash
bd daemons list # Auto-cleanup happens by default
bd daemons list --no-cleanup # Skip cleanup
```
### Multi-Workspace Management
Discover daemons in specific directories:
```bash
bd daemons list --search /Users/me/projects
bd daemons health --search /Users/me/work
```
## Troubleshooting
### Stale Sockets
If you see stale sockets (dead process but socket file exists):
```bash
bd daemons list # Auto-cleanup removes stale sockets
```
### Version Mismatch
If daemon version != CLI version:
```bash
bd daemons health # Identify mismatched daemons
bd daemons killall # Stop all daemons
# Next bd command will auto-start new version
```
### Daemon Won't Stop
If graceful shutdown fails:
```bash
bd daemons killall --force # Force kill with SIGKILL
```
### Can't Find Daemon
If daemon isn't discovered:
```bash
bd daemons list --search /path/to/workspace
```
Or check the socket manually:
```bash
ls -la /path/to/workspace/.beads/bd.sock
```
