pcontrol(1)                                                        pcontrol(1)


NAME

       pcontrol - Send commands to running pproxy or pserv


SYNOPSIS

       pcontrol [-c CMD, --command=CMD] [-s FILE, --socket=FILE] [-p PRG,
       --program=PRG] [-q, --quiet] [-v, --verbose] [-i, --ignore-errors]
       [--help] [--version] FILE...


DESCRIPTION

       With pcontrol commands can be send to the running pproxy or pserv
       server. If no files are given on the command line and the --command
       option is not used, commands are read interactively from the terminal.
       If GNU readline support is compiled in, it will be used.

       If one or more filenames are given on the command line, these files are
       read in order and all lines are send to the server. Lines beginning
       with '#' are ignored. '-' can be used to read from STDIN.

       If the --command option is used, the command after --command is send to
       the server.

       If neither the --program nor the --socket option is given, the program
       will look for the socket of a running pproxy and if that is not found
       for the socket of a running pserv.

       Start the program in interactive mode and type '/h' for more
       information about possible commands, parameters and return codes.


OPTIONS

       -c CMD, --command=CMD
              Send CMD to server instead of reading them from the named files.

       -s FILE, --socket=FILE
              Open FILE as control socket to server. This option can not be
              used together with --program.

       -p PRG, --program=PRG
              Open control socket to program PRG. The corresponding socket in
              /var/run/popular will be used. This option can not be used
              together witch --socket.

       -q, --quiet
              Don't print answer messages from server.

       -v, --verbose
              Print messages as they are sent to the server.

       -i, --ignore-errors
              Ignore errors from server. Without this option the program is
              terminated after the first error and a corresponding return code
              is set.

       --help Print short help screen.

       --version
              Print version information.
