9 xpdtest [options]
10
12 This manual page documents the xpdtest program, an utility whose pur‐
13 pose is to test the status of an xproofd daemon running on the local
14 machine. The target is to run xpdtest inside a monitor infrastructure,
15 for example monit (see http://mmonit.com/monit/ ), capable to take some
16 decisions and to do some actions following the result of xpdtest.

21 --help, -h
22 Gives a short list of options available, and exit
23 -t <test>
25 type of test to be run:
26 0 ping the daemon (includes process existence check if
27 pid specified; see below)
28 1 ping the daemon and check connection for default
29 user
30 2 ping the daemon and check connection for the default
31 user and all recent users
32 The default user is the one specified in the URL (e.g. 'user'
34 for user@localhost); if no explicit specification is found in
35 the URL, the user under which xpdtest is run is used; it can be
36 also passed via the environment variable XPDTEST_TEST.
37 -u <url>
39 URL where the xproofd under test responds; it can be also passed
40 via the environment variable XPDTEST_URL (default is 'local‐
41 host:1093').
42 -d <sbdir>
44 sandbox directory used to find out the users of the facility
45 when test is 2; it can be also passed via the environment vari‐
46 able XPDTEST_SBOXDIR (default is '/tmp/proofbox').
47 -s <span>
49 define the time interval, in minutes, to define 'recent' users
50 when test is 2: only users who connected within this interval
51 are checked; use -1 for infinite; it can be also passed via the
52 environment variable XPDTEST_TIMESPAN (default is -1).
53 -T <timeout>
55 define the time, in seconds, waited for the session to start
56 successfully; it can be also passed via the environment variable
57 XPDTEST_TIMESOUT (default is 10 seconds).
58 -l <logfile>
60 log file if not screen; deleted if the required test fails
61 unless '-k' is specified (see below);it can be also passed via
62 the environment variable XPDTEST_LOGFILE.
63 -p <pidfile>
65 file with the process ID as a integer number in the first line;
66 if this file is given a quick test on the process existence is
67 done using kill(pid,0); it can be also passed via the environ‐
68 ment variable XPDTEST_PIDFILE.
69 -k keep log file at path given via '-l' in all cases; it can be
71 also passed via the environment variable XPDTEST_KEEP (default
72 is 'no keep').
73 -v set gDebug=1 for the underline ROOT calls; it can be also passed
75 via the environment variable XPDTEST_VERBOSE (default is 'no
76 verbose').
77
79 xpdtest returns 0 on success and 1 in case of test failure. Errors are
80 printed on the screen or saved into the specified log file.
81
84 The file xpdtest_popen_file in the temporary directory (typically /tmp)
85 is used to parse the output of TProof::Open(). The file is overwritten
86 by each new attempt; after a run of xpdtest it contains the result of
87 the last session open attempt.
88
91 The connection attempt is done in 'masteronly' mode. For daemons run‐
92 ning in 'worker' mode the attempt will fail with a well defined error
93 message ('Server not allowed to be top master'); since this indicates
94 that the daemon is anyhow responsive, a positive detection of such a
95 pattern in the error message is interpreted as the attempt having being
96 successful.
