NAME

serverctlp - apachectl style controller for servers

VERSION

version 0.20

SYNOPSIS

   serverctlp -c class -k start|stop|restart|ping [-d server_root] [-v] [-q]
   serverctlp -h

DESCRIPTION

serverctlp uses a Server::Control subclass to start, stop, restart or ping (show status of) a server.

OPTIONS

Required options: -c and -k, and possibly others depending on subclass

 -c, --class         Specify the subclass of Server::Control to use
 -d, --server-root   Specify the server root - will determine from configuration file if given
 -h, --help          Print help message
 -k, --action        Specify action - start, stop, restart, or ping
 -q, --quiet         Show only errors and warnings
 -v, --verbose       Show verbose output
 -I                  Library paths to include

In general, any constructor parameter to Server::Control to the subclass can be passed here (replacing underscores with dashes), e.g.

 --name
 --wait-for-status-secs

RC FILE

You may place options in an rc file called serverctl.yml in the server root, e.g.

    # This is my serverctl.yml
    use_sudo: 1
    wait_for_status_secs: 5

You can also specify the path of the rc file with --serverctlrc.
