What are the switches to fwd

Here are the current list of switches and what they do:
-u : run a SecuRemote server.
-n : management only (no module).
-s : no module (Supposedly doesn't do fw stat?)
-l : no logs.
-A : no alerts.
-d : debug
-D : log debugging

fwd by default will use -u. fwstart calls fwd -n on pure management consoles (i.e. one that don't contain a firewall module). The debug flags sends messages to stderr (or fwd.log on FireWall-1 4.x) and run the process in the foreground instead of background.
