DESCRIPTION

DIAGNOSTICS
spd is usually invoked indirectly, via spshed(8) from system startup procedures or other programs such as gspl-start(1).
Thereafter it runs as a "daemon process" and diagnostics are not
written to any terminal but to the file spshed_reps.
In the event of any problems this file should be examined.
