NAME
xnbd-bgctl -- Control a server running xnbd-server(8) through its control socket
SYNOPSIS
xnbd-bgctl [--cache-all] [--cache-all2] [--query] [--reconnect REMOTE_HOST REMOTE_PORT] [--shutdown] [control_socket]
DESCRIPTION
With the xmbd-bgctl command you can connect to a xnbd-server control channel and instruct it to act as directed. You may pass an argument to the control program which is then forwarded, on your behalf, to the server instance.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --cache-all If the remote xnbd-server acts as proxy server, this command intstructs the controlling xnbd-server instance to cache all blocks on its associated block disk. Upon completion the controlled xnbd instance holds all data from the origin instance and it is no longer necessary to act as proxy. --cache-all2 This command is identical to cache-all but detaches the process from the terminal and is hence using a dedicated connection for data transfer. --query This command retrieves completion statistics from the proxy server instance. It returns the number of cached blocks on the server. --reconnect This command recovers from a lost connection by re-establishing connectivity with the origin server. This command expects two additional arguments, the REMOTE_HOST, and the REMOTE_PORT you want to connect to, to recover from a disconnected session. --shutdown This command stops the proxy server and restarts the target server. All client sessions are preserved.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
The following positional options are supported: CONTROL_SOCKET The Unix domain socket, the xnbd-server(8) program is listening on.
