12
14 tracker-status shows the status of all miners and the store which min‐
15 ers push information into. To do this, you can run tracker-status with
16 no command line arguments. For tracker-store, the status is always Idle
17 unless it is replaying a journal (regardless of load from applications
18 or miners). For a list of common statuses, see --list-common-statuses.
19
20 The miners can be paused or resumed using this command and you can list
21 miners running and available.
22
23 To start or stop miners, you need to use tracker-control. The store is
24 started automatically by the D-Bus calls from the miners.
25
27 -?, --help
28 Show summary of options.
29
30 -f, --follow
31 Follow status changes as they happen. This requires Ctrl+C to
32 stop and return to the command line. Each new status is put on a
33 new line. To get more information, you can use --detailed with
34 this.
35
36 -d, --detailed
37 For the most part, this purely provides a timestamp with each
38 status update to follow WHEN changes happened.
39
40 -s, --list-common-statuses
41 This will list statuses most commonly produced by miners and the
42 store. These statuses are not translated when sent over D-Bus
43 and should be translated by each application. These are not con‐
44 sidered static and are subject to change at any point.
45
46 Additionally, these statuses are not the only ones which may be
47 reported by a miner. There may be other states pertaining to the
48 specific roles of the miner in question.
49
50 -l, --list-miners-running
51 This will list all miners which have responded to a D-Bus call.
52 Sometimes it is helpfult to use this command with --list-miners-
53 available.
54
55 -a, --list-miners-available
56 This will list all miners which are available even if they are
57 not running at the moment.
58
59 -i, --pause-details
60 For listing all miners which are paused and the reasons for
61 being paused, you can use this. It will also display the appli‐
62 cation that requested the pause too.
63
64 -m, --miner=MINER
65 This argument is used with --pause and --resume to say which
66 miner you want to pause or resume. You can use the full D-Bus
67 name, e.g. org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Files OR you can use
68 the suffix, e.g. Files
69
70 -p, --pause=REASON
71 The REASON here is useful to know WHY the miner should be
72 paused. A miner can be paused many times by multiple applica‐
73 tions. Only when all pauses have been resumed will it continue.
74 If successful, a cookie will be given to uniquely identify the
75 request. This cookie is used to resume the pause at a later
76 stage.
77
78 -r, --resume=COOKIE
79 The COOKIE is given by a successful --pause command. It is a
80 number which identifies each pause request. When all pauses have
81 been resumed, the miner will resume working.
82
83 -V, --version
84 Print version.
