DESCRIPTION

14       tracker-control lists all tracker related processes when no OPTIONs are
15       specified.
16
17       To see the status of the miners and the store, use tracker-status.  You
18       can  pause  or  resume  miners  and also see which ones are running and
19       which ones are installed.

OPTIONS

23       -?, --help
24              Show summary of options.
25
26       -k, --kill=[all|store|miners]
27              This uses SIGKILL to stop all Tracker processes  found  matching
28              the  parameter,  if  no  extra  parameter is passed, all will be
29              assumed. This is not advised  unless  you  are  having  problems
30              stopping Tracker in the first place. This GUARANTEES death.
31
32       -t, --terminate=[all|store|miners]
33              This  uses  SIGTERM to stop all Tracker processes found matching
34              the parameter, if no extra parameter  is  passed,  all  will  be
35              assumed.  This  is  recommended over --kill because it gives the
36              processes time to shutdown cleanly.
37
38       -r, --hard-reset
39              This kills all processes in the same way that --kill does but it
40              also  removes all databases. Restarting tracker-store re-creates
41              the databases.
42
43       -e, --soft-reset
44              A soft reset works exactly the same way that --hard-reset  does,
45              with  the exception that the backup and journal are not removed.
46              These are restored when tracker-store is restarted.
47
48       -c, --remove-config
49              This removes all  config  files  in  $HOME/.config/tracker.  All
50              files  listed  are  files  which  were  found  and  successfully
51              removed.  Restarting the  respective  processes  re-creates  the
52              default configuration files.
53
54       -s, --start
55              Starts  all  miners.  This  indirectly  starts tracker-store too
56              because it is needed for miners to operate properly.
57
58       -m, --reindex-mime-type=MIME
59              Re-index files which match the MIME type supplied. This is  usu‐
60              ally  used  when  installing  new  extractors which support MIME
61              types previously unsupported. This forces  Tracker  to  re-index
62              those  files. You can use --reindex-mime-type more than once per
63              MIME type.
64
65       -V, --version
66              Print version.
