NAME
realmctl - Send commands to the DNSSEC-Tools realms daemon
SYNOPSIS
realmctl [options]
DESCRIPTION
The realmctl command sends commands to dtrealms, the DNSSEC-Tools realms daemon. In most cases, dtrealms will send a response to realmctl.
realmctl will print a success or failure message, as appropriate. Only one option may be specified on a command line.
OPTIONS
The following options are handled by realmctl.
-allstart
Starts all suspended realms.
-allstop
Stops all running realms.
-cmd -- realm cmd args
-command -- realm cmd args
Sends a command to the specified realm. The command given as cmd will be sent to the rollerd running in realm realm.
The double-dash given above is critical for proper argument parsing of the command line.
All command-line arguments, as args above, following the realm name and command name will be sent as the command.
Whatever output the command gives will be returned to realmctl, which will then print that output. The command's return code will be
appended to the command's output. No attempt will be made to analyze the output for success or failure.
For example, this command will tell the realm giant-isp to stop rollover of zone bob.example.com:
$ realmctl -command -- giant-isp rollctl -skipzone bob.example.com
Warning: This is an inherently dangerous command. When choosing a user under which the realm and rollover commands will be executed,
be aware that this problem exists. realmctl may be modified in the future to restrict the commands that may be executed with this
option.
-display
Starts the realms status GUI.
-halt [now]
Cleanly halts dtrealms execution.
-logfile logfile
Sets the dtrealms log file to logfile. This must be a valid logging file, meaning that if logfile already exists, it must be a regular
file. The only exceptions to this are if logfile is /dev/stdout or /dev/tty.
-loglevel loglevel
Sets the dtrealms logging level to loglevel. This must be one of the valid logging levels defined in realmmgr.pm(3).
If a logging level is not specified, then the list of valid levels will be printed and realmctl will exit. The list is given in both
text and numeric forms.
-logtz logtz
Sets the dtrealms logging timezone to loglevel. This must be either gmt (for Greenwich Mean Time or local (for the host's local time.)
-nodisplay
Stops the realms status GUI.
-realmstatus
Gets the current status of all the realms from dtrealms. For each realm, the name, execution status, and zone counts are printed. The
zone counts are, in order, the number of zones in normal state, the number of zones in ZSK rollover, the number of zones in KSK
rollover, and the number of zones waiting in KSK phase 6. The zone counts are determined by sending the realm's rollover manager an
information request. Therefore, if the zone is inactive, the zone counts are not included.
Example:
dev active normal: 18 ZSK: 3 KSK: 1 KSK phase 6: 0
test-r inactive
money active normal: 10 ZSK: 0 KSK: 0 KSK phase 6: 1
-shutdown
Synonym for -halt.
-startrealm realm
Starts the suspended realm named by realm. Multiple realms can be specified on the command line. For instance, this command will send
the startrealm command to dtrealms for three realms.
$ realmctl -startrealm testing production customers
-status
Has dtrealms write several of its operational parameters to its log file. The parameters are also reported to realmctl, which prints
them to the screen.
-stoprealm realm
Stops the realm named by realm. Multiple realms can be specified on the command line. For instance, this command will send the
stoprealm command to dtrealms for two realms.
$ realmctl -stoprealm big-isp-3 misc-customers
-Version
Displays the version information for realmctl and the DNSSEC-Tools package.
-quiet
Prevents output from being given. Both error and non-error output is stopped.
-help
Displays a usage message.
EXIT CODES
realmctl may give the following exit codes:
0 - Successful execution
1 - Error sending the command to dtrealms.
2 - Missing realm argument.
3 - Too many command options specified.
4 - Missing argument for -cmd or -command.
5 - No option specified.
200 - dtrealms is not running.
201 - Configuration file checks failed.
