the Beagle daemon, is the heart of Beagle, a system for searching and managing
your personal information space. The Beagle daemon should normally be started
as part of user's desktop startup process.

via command-line options, developers testing Beagle, or those who use Beagle
only infrequently.

used with with the --allow/deny-backend options. Using this argument will
print out the list of backends and then exit.
--add-static-backend

--indexing-test-mode
Run in foreground, and exit when fully indexed.
