NAME

       tracker-control - Manage Tracker processes and data

SYNOPSIS

       tracker-control [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       tracker-control lists all tracker related processes when no OPTIONs are specified.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -k, --kill=[all|store|miners]
	      This  uses SIGKILL to stop all Tracker processes found matching the parameter, if no extra parameter is passed, all will be assumed.
	      This is not advised unless you are having problems stopping Tracker in the first place. This GUARANTEES death.

       -t, --terminate=[all|store|miners]
	      This uses SIGTERM to stop all Tracker processes found matching the parameter, if no extra parameter is passed, all will be  assumed.
	      This is recommended over --kill because it gives the processes time to shutdown cleanly.

       -r, --hard-reset
	      This kills all processes in the same way that --kill does but it also removes all databases. Restarting tracker-store re-creates the
	      databases.

       -e, --soft-reset
	      A soft reset works exactly the same way that --hard-reset does, with the exception that the backup  and  journal	are  not  removed.
	      These are restored when tracker-store is restarted.

       -c, --remove-config
	      This  removes  all  config  files  in  $HOME/.config/tracker.  All files listed are files which were found and successfully removed.
	      Restarting the respective processes re-creates the default configuration files.

       -s, --start
	      Starts all miners. This indirectly starts tracker-store too because it is needed for miners to operate properly.

       -m, --reindex-mime-type=MIME
	      Re-index files which match the MIME type supplied. This is usually used when installing new extractors which support MIME types pre-
	      viously unsupported. This forces Tracker to re-index those files. You can use --reindex-mime-type more than once per MIME type.

       -V, --version
	      Print version.
