NAME

6       vutil - venus utility program
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vutil  [--clearstats|-cs]  [--debug  loglevel|-d loglevel] [--shutdown]
10       [--stats] [--swaplogs|-swap]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       vutil dynamically alters various parameters of a running Coda client by
14       sending signals to the venus process.
15

OPTIONS

17       --clearstats, -cs
18              Clears internal counters used in statistics reporting.
19
20       --debug loglevel, -d loglevel
21              Sets  the  debug  level to loglevel. Additional arguments can be
22              given to set log levels for RPC2 and LWP.
23
24       --shutdown
25              Shuts Venus down gracefully. Same as sending a SIGTERM signal.
26
27       --stats, -s
28              Causes Venus to dump internal counters and other  statistics  to
29              its log file.
30
31       --swaplogs, -swap
32              Causes  Venus to rotate the venus log and error files. Not quite
33              the same as sending a SIGHUP signal because vutil  performs  the
34              log  rotation,  while  venus  only  reopens  the  files  when it
35              receives SIGHUP.
36

DIAGNOSTICS

38       vutil is using signals to control the Coda client. As a result  it  has
39       to run as the super user or the same user as the venus process.
40

FILES

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