Is there commandline control of the operation of Spread (3.16.0)
(i.e. the only way I know to shutdown is option 8 on the spmonitor
menu)? I'm looking for something like apachectl, where I can just say
`apachectl graceful` or `apachectl stop` from the commandline to get
what I want.
dlr at daedalus:dlr$ apachectl --help
apachectl (start|stop|restart|fullstatus|status|graceful|configtest|help)
start - start httpd
stop - stop httpd
restart - restart httpd if running by sending a SIGHUP or start if
not running
fullstatus - dump a full status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled
status - dump a short status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled
graceful - do a graceful restart by sending a SIGWINCH or start if not runningconfigtest - do a configuration syntax test
help - this screen
Also, if no such tool exists, I may end up authoring a preliminary
version of such. If it comes to that, is the above format reasonable,
and should the tool be packaged as part of the spread binary or as a
separate tool (i.e. spreadctl)? This would make scripting Spread
operation much easier.
