VUTIL(8)                 Coda Distributed File System                 VUTIL(8)

NAME
       vutil - venus utility program

SYNOPSIS
       vutil [--clearstats|-cs] [--debug loglevel|-d loglevel] [--shutdown]
       [--stats] [--swaplogs|-swap]

DESCRIPTION
       vutil dynamically alters various parameters of a running Coda client by
       sending signals to the venus process.

OPTIONS
       --clearstats, -cs
              Clears internal counters used in statistics reporting.

       --debug loglevel, -d loglevel
              Sets the debug level to loglevel. Additional arguments can be
              given to set log levels for RPC2 and LWP.

       --shutdown
              Shuts Venus down gracefully. Same as sending a SIGTERM signal.

       --stats, -s
              Causes Venus to dump internal counters and other statistics to
              its log file.

       --swaplogs, -swap
              Causes Venus to rotate the venus log and error files. Not quite
              the same as sending a SIGHUP signal because vutil performs the
              log rotation, while venus only reopens the files when it
              receives SIGHUP.

DIAGNOSTICS
       vutil is using signals to control the Coda client. As a result it has
       to run as the super user or the same user as the venus process.

FILES
       vutil will read the location of the pid file, control file, and log
       files from /etc/coda/venus.conf.
