tracker-status
tracker-status(1) User Commands tracker-status(1)
NAME
tracker-status - Report the state of all data miners
SYNOPSIS
tracker-status [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
tracker-status shows the status of all miners installed. It also allows pausing and resuming of miners. For tracker-store state, you need
to use tracker-control
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
-f, --follow
Follow status changes as they happen. This requires Ctrl+C to stop and return to the command line. Each new status is put on a new
line. To get more information, you can use --detailed with this.
-d, --detailed
For the most part, this purely provides a timestamp with each status update to follow WHEN changes happened.
-s, --list-common-statuses
This will list statuses most commonly produced by miners and the store. These statuses are not translated when sent over D-Bus and
should be translated by each application. These are not considered static and are subject to change at any point.
Additionally, these statuses are not the only ones which may be reported by a miner. There may be other states pertaining to the
specific roles of the miner in question.
-l, --list-miners-running
This will list all miners which have responded to a D-Bus call. Sometimes it is helpfult to use this command with --list-miners-
available.
-a, --list-miners-available
This will list all miners which are available even if they are not running at the moment.
-i, --pause-details
For listing all miners which are paused and the reasons for being paused, you can use this. It will also display the application
that requested the pause too.
-m, --miner=MINER
This argument is used with --pause and --resume to say which miner you want to pause or resume. You can use the full D-Bus name,
e.g. org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Files OR you can use the suffix, e.g. Files
-p, --pause=REASON
The REASON here is useful to know WHY the miner should be paused. A miner can be paused many times by multiple applications. Only
when all pauses have been resumed will it continue. If successful, a cookie will be given to uniquely identify the request. This
cookie is used to resume the pause at a later stage.
-r, --resume=COOKIE
The COOKIE is given by a successful --pause command. It is a number which identifies each pause request. When all pauses have been
resumed, the miner will resume working.
-V, --version
Print version.
