NAME¶
dtpcadmin - Delay-Tolerant Payload Conditioning (DTPC) administration interface
SYNOPSIS¶
dtpcadmin [
commands_filename | . ]
DESCRIPTION¶
dtpcadmin configures, starts, manages, and stops DTPC operations for the
local ION node.
It operates in response to DTPC configuration commands found in the file
commands_filename, if provided; if not,
dtpcadmin prints a
simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard
input. If
commands_filename is a period (.), the effect is the same as
if a command file containing the single command 'x' were passed to
dtpcadmin -- that is, the ION node's
dtpcclock task and
dtpcd task are stopped.
The format of commands for
commands_filename can be queried from
dtpcadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are
documented in
dtpcrc(5).
EXIT STATUS¶
- 0
- Successful completion of DTPC administration.
EXAMPLES¶
- dtpcadmin
- Enter interactive DTPC configuration command entry mode.
- dtpcadmin host1.dtpc
- Execute all configuration commands in host1.dtpc, then terminate
immediately.
- dtpcadmin .
- Stop all DTPC operations on the local node.
FILES¶
See
dtpcrc(5) for details of the DTPC configuration commands.
ENVIRONMENT¶
No environment variables apply.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be
lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the dtpcrc file on a
Windows machine, be sure to
use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text
format before presenting it to
dtpcadmin. Otherwise
dtpcadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function
satisfactorily.
The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:
- dtpcadmin can't attach to ION.
- There is no SDR data store for dtpcadmin to use. You should run
ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION.
- Can't open command file...
- The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't
exist.
Various errors that don't cause
dtpcadmin to fail but are noted in the
ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given
at the prompt or in the
commands_filename file. Please see
dtpcrc(5) for details.
