\fB\--GSStartupNotification\fR
sends a notification through the NSDistributedNotificationCenter (i.e.
gdnc) so that apps know that it has started up. This is only relevant
if the application itself tries to startup \fBgpbs\fR (which means
\fBgpbs\fR was not started at session login).
.TP
\fB\--daemon\fR
starts \fBgpbs\fR as a daemon - mostly this means that all output gets
sent to syslog rather than the terminal.
.TP
\fB\--no-fork\fR
does not fork a separate process

\fB\--verbose\fR
makes \fB\gpbs\fR his logging more verbose
