pioneers-meta-server(6) Games Manual pioneers-meta-server(6)NAMEpioneers-meta-server - meta game server for PioneersSYNOPSISpioneers-meta-server [options]DESCRIPTIONPioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game. It uses a client/server model for networked play. This program provides a piece of network infrastructure that helps match pioneers clients to pioneers servers. Casual players of pio- neers probably do not need to run this program.OPTIONS-?, --help Print a short help text and exit. -d, --daemon Run in daemon mode. -P, --pidfile pidfile Write the pid to pidfile (implies -d) -r, --redirect location Redirect to another meta-server running at location. -s, --servername hostname Use hostname as hostname when creating servers. -p, --port-range from-to Use ports in the range from-to (inclusive) to start servers. It is advised not to include port 5557 in the range. (See BUGS below.) When this range is not specified, the meta-server will not be able to create new games. --debug Enable debug messages. --syslog-debug Duplicate the messages of the syslog to the console. --version Show version information.ENVIRONMENTThe default settings of the meta-server can be influenced with the following three environment variables: PIONEERS_META_SERVER The hostname the meta-server will use when creating new games. This should be a hostname that can be resolved by all clients that will connect. PIONEERS_SERVER_CONSOLE The path to pioneers-server-console. If it is not set, the default installation path will be used. PIONEERS_DIR The path to the game definition files. If it is not set, the default installation path will be used.FILES/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game Game definitionsSIGNALSUSR1 Shutdown the meta-server gracefully (can be used to check for memory leaks)BUGSDo not include port 5557 in the --port-range argument because the meta-server uses this port.AUTHORThis manual page was written by Jeff Breidenbach <jab@debian.org>, and updated by Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> and Bas Wijnen <shevek@fmf.nl>.
