NAME

       wackatrl - IP-failover high-availability controller


SYNOPSIS

       wackatrl [-c config_file ] [ -l | -f | -s ]


DESCRIPTION

       wackatrl runs the wackatrl IP-failover HA controller and instructs the
       currently running Wackamole instance to perform an action or display
       state information.


OPTIONS

       -c config-file
              Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of
              wackamole.conf.

       -l     Lists the current state (ownership) of virtual interfaces.

       -f     Simulate a failure.  The local instance will disconnect from
              Spread and act as if it has failed by dropping its managed
              interfaces and running whatever dynamic calls have been
              configured.  A peer, should one exist, will assume the
              responsibility for the interfaces that were dropped.

       -s     Recover from a simulated failure.  This will tell the local
              instance to stop simulating failure.  The local instance will
              reconnect to Spread and once again participate in the peer-based
              HA environment.


FILES

       wackamole.conf
              The default config file location is dependant on the install
              prefix.  ./wackamole.conf is also searched if a local file is
              not found.


DIAGNOSTICS

       All error messages, should any be produced will be written to standard
       error.


BUGS

       No known bugs.
