NAME¶
piuparts_slave_run - start up piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen
SYNOPSIS¶
piuparts_slave_run [SLAVE-NUMBERS]
DESCRIPTION¶
piuparts_slave_run runs piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen which
run piuparts tests which test whether Debian packages handle
installation, upgrading, and removal correctly.
By default, piuparts_slave_run will start the number of
slaves specified by the slave-count parameter in the piuparts.conf
file. If slave-count is not defined, a single slave will be started.
If a single argument is supplied to piuparts_slave_run, consisting of
a space-separated list of numbers between 1 and slave-count, only
those slaves will be started.
OPTIONS¶
There are no options to this command currently. Note however that this
interface is under development and may change.
ENVIRONMENT¶
Running piuparts in master-slave mode requires configuration in
/etc/piuparts.
BUGS¶
piuparts_slave_run should be able to run slaves in different ways: 1.
all, in a new screen (only this is implemented at the moment) 2. a specific
one, in a specified screen slot in a (running) screen 3. append one to a
(running) screen using a "random" slot 4. start slave in the current
directory in the current shell in foreground.
NOTES¶
Make sure to also read /usr/share/doc/piuparts-master/README_server.txt.
