NAME
ppserver - manual page for Parallel Python Network Server SYNOPSIS
ppserver [-hda] [-i interface] [-b broadcast] [-p port] [-w nworkers] [-s secret] [-t seconds] DESCRIPTION
Parallel Python Network Server OPTIONS
-h this help message -d debug -a enable auto-discovery service -r restart worker process after each task completion -n <proto> protocol number for pickle module -c <path> path to config file -i <interface> interface to listen -b <broadcast> broadcast address for auto-discovery service -p <port> port to listen -w <nworkers> number of workers to start -s <secret> secret for authentication -t <seconds> timeout to exit if no connections with clients exist -k <seconds> socket timeout in seconds which is also the maximum time a remote job could be executed. Increase this value if you have long run- ning jobs or decrease if connectivity to remote ppservers is often lost. Please visit http://www.parallelpython.com for extended up-to-date documentation, examples and support forums SECURITY
Due to the security concerns it is highly recommended to run ppserver.py with an non-trivial secret key (-s command line argument) which should be paired with the matching secret keyword of PP Server class constructor. An alternative way to set a secret key is by assigning pp_secret variable in the configuration file .pythonrc.py which should be located in the user home directory (please make this file read- able and writable only by user). The secret key set in .pythonrc.py could be overridden by command line argument (for ppserver.py) and secret keyword (for PP Server class constructor). AUTHOR

NAME
varnishadm - Control a running varnish instance SYNOPSIS
varnishadm [-t timeout] [-S secret_file] [-T address:port] [-n name] [command [...]] DESCRIPTION
The varnishadm utility establishes a CLI connection to varnishd either using -n name or using the -T and -S arguments. If -n name is given the location of the secret file and the address:port is looked up in shared memory. If neither is given varnishadm will look for an instance without a given name. If a command is given, the command and arguments are sent over the CLI connection and the result returned on stdout. If no command argument is given varnishadm will pass commands and replies between the CLI socket and stdin/stdout. OPTIONS
-t timeout Wait no longer than this many seconds for an operation to finish. -S secret_file Specify the authentication secret file. This should be the same -S argument as was given to varnishd. Only processes which can read the contents of this file, will be able to authenticate the CLI connection. -T address:port Connect to the management interface at the specified address and port. -n name Connect to the instance of varnishd with this name. The syntax and operation of the actual CLI interface is described in the varnish-cli(7) manual page. Parameteres are described in var- nishd(1) manual page. Additionally, a summary of commands can be obtained by issuing the help command, and a summary of parameters can be obtained by issuing the param.show command. EXIT STATUS
If a command is given, the exit status of the varnishadm utility is zero if the command succeeded, and non-zero otherwise. EXAMPLES
Some ways you can use varnishadm:: varnishadm -T localhost:999 -S /var/db/secret vcl.use foo echo vcl.use foo | varnishadm -T localhost:999 -S /var/db/secret echo vcl.use foo | ssh vhost varnishadm -T localhost:999 -S /var/db/secret SEE ALSO
