NAME

plakar-agent — Run the Plakar agent

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The plakar agent start command, which is the default, starts the Plakar agent which will execute subsequent plakar(1) commands on their behalfs for faster processing.

plakar agent is executed automatically by most plakar(1) commands and terminates by itself when idle for too long, so usually there's no need to manually start it.

The options for plakar agent start are as follows:

-foreground

Do not daemonize, run in the foreground and log to standard error.

-log logfile

Write log output to the given logfile which is created if it does not exist. The default is to log to syslog.

-teardown delay

Specify the delay after which the idle agent terminate. The delay parameter must be given as a sequence of decimal value, each followed by a time unit (e.g. “1m30s”). Defaults to 5 seconds.

plakar agent stop forces the currently running agent to stop. This is useful when upgrading from an older plakar(1) version were the agent was always running.
