NAME

6       occtl - OpenConnect VPN server control tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       occtl [´COMMAND´]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  a  control tool that can be used to send commands to ocserv. When
13       called without any arguments the tool can be used interactively,  where
14       each command is entered on a command prompt; alternatively the tool can
15       be called with the command specified as parameter. In the  latter  case
16       the  tool´s exit code will reflect the successful execution of the com‐
17       mand.
18

OPTIONS

20       -s, --socket-file=FILE
21              Specify the server´s occtl socket  file.  This  option  is  only
22              needed if you have multiple servers.
23
24       -j, --json
25              Output will be JSON formatted. This option can only be used with
26              non-interactive output, e.g., ´occtl --json show users´.
27
28       -n, --no-pager
29              No pager will be used over output data.
