vinyladm¶
Control a running Vinyl Cache instance¶
- Manual section:
1
SYNOPSIS¶
vinyladm [-h] [-n workdir] [-p] [-S secretfile] [-T [address]:port] [-t timeout] [command […]]
DESCRIPTION¶
The vinyladm utility establishes a CLI connection to vinyld either
using -n workdir or using the -T and -S arguments. If -n workdir is
given, the location of the secret file and the address:port are looked
up in shared memory. If neither is given, vinyladm uses the -n
defaults documented for vinyld.
If a command is given, the command and arguments are sent over the CLI connection and the result returned on stdout.
If no command argument is given vinyladm will pass commands and replies between the CLI socket and stdin/stdout.
OPTIONS¶
- -h
Print program usage and exit.
- -n workdir
Specify the Vinyl Cache working directory of the instance to attach to. See vinyld
-noption documentation for additional information and defaults.- -p
Force pass mode and make the output follow the VCLI protocol. This disables command-history/command-completion and makes it easier for programs to parse the response(s).
- -S secretfile
Specify the authentication secret file. This should be the same -S argument as was given to
vinyld. Only processes which can read the contents of this file, will be able to authenticate the CLI connection.- -T <address:port>
Connect to the management interface at the specified address and port.
- -t timeout
Wait no longer than this many seconds for an operation to finish.
The syntax and operation of the actual CLI interface is described in the vinyl-cli manual page. Parameters are described in vinyld manual page.
Additionally, a summary of commands can be obtained by issuing the help command, and a summary of parameters can be obtained by issuing the param.show command.
EXIT STATUS¶
If a command is given, the exit status of the vinyladm utility is zero if the command succeeded, and non-zero otherwise.
