UML_MCONSOLE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   UML_MCONSOLE(1)

NAME

       uml_mconsole -- attach to the management console of a user-mode Linux kernel

SYNOPSIS

       uml_mconsole [socket]  [command ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the uml_mconsole command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       uml_mconsole  is  a  program  to  connect to the management console of a user-mode Linux kernel.  The UML management console is a low-level
       interface to the kernel, somewhat like the i386 SysRq interface. Since there is a full-blown operating system  under  UML,  there  is  much
       greater flexibility possible than with the SysRq mechanism.

OPTIONS

       socket	 The pathname of the socket to which to connect.  This is printed when UML boots, for example:

       mconsole initialized on /tmp/umlNJ32yL/mconsole

		 In this example, you would start uml_mconsole like this:

       uml_mconsole umlNJ32yL

       command	 Any of the commands listed in the "COMMANDS" section.

COMMANDS

       version	 Prints the UML version number.

       halt	 Shuts down the UML system immediately, without syncing disks or cleanly shutting down swap space.

       reboot	 Reboots the UML system immediately, without syncing disks or cleanly shutting down swap space.

       log string
		 Cause UML to log string to the kernel log.

       cad	 Invokes the Control-Alt-Delete handler.

       sysrq letter
		 Performs the SysRq action controlled by letter.

       stop	 Pauses UML.  UML will do nothing until the 'go' command is issued.

       go	 Resumes execution after a 'stop' command.

       config device
		 Adds  a  new  device to the virtual machine, or queries the configuration of an existing device.  It takes one argument, which is
		 either the device to add, with the same syntax as the kernel command line, or the name of an existing device.	For example:

       (mconsole)
       config ubd3=root_fs_debian22
       OK

       (mconsole)
       config ubd3
       OK root_fs_debian22

       remove	 Deletes a device from the virtual machine.  Its argument is the name of the device to be removed.  In the case of the ubd driver,
		 the  removed  block  device must not be mounted, swapped on, or otherwise open, and in the case of the network driver, the device
		 must be down.

       (mconsole)
       remove ubd3
       OK

NAME

       s2disk - program to suspend to disk (hibernate)

SYNOPSIS

       s2disk [-h, --help] [-V, --version] [-f, --config config_file] [-r, --resume_device device] [-o, --resume_offset offset]
	      [-s, --image_size size] [-P, --parameter parameter]

       resume

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the s2disk, s2both and resume commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       s2disk is a program that will save the state of the whole system to disk and power off your system. After restarting your system it will be
       put back in the exact system state you left it (this is sometimes called hibernation).

       s2both will do precisly the same as s2disk except that it will not power off the system, but will suspend it to ram (put the system in S3
       mode). This has the advantage that resume will be faster, with the disadvantage that you still use batteries. If they batteries do deplete,
       you still have the system state saved to disk and can resume without data loss. The s2both command also inherits all command line arguments
       from s2ram.

       You will need to set up an initramfs which calls the resume program for this to work. If you use an Debian(TM) kernel package which was
       made with the --initrd option and you use mkinitramfs-tools, this package should include the necessary parts on your initramfs.

       The uswsusp system supports encrypting the image written to disk and features a splash system, see uswsusp.conf(8) for more information

OPTIONS

       -f, --config [file]
	   Specify alternate configuration file.

       -h, --help
	   Display help.

       -r, --resume_device [device]
	   Device that contains swap area.

       -o, --resume_offset [offset]
	   Offset of swap file in resume device.

       -s, --image_size [size]
	   Desired size of the image.

       -P, --parameter [key=value]
	   Override any config file parameter (see uswsusp.conf(8)).

       For the meaning and use of the resume_size, resume_offset and image_size options see uswsusp.conf(8).
