cherokee-tweak1

Command-line interface to the cherokee administrative interface

Usage

cherokee-tweak -c command -a url [options]

Overview

cherokee-tweak connects to running cherokee instance, either local or remote, and requests it to perform one of several actions.

Options

cherokee-tweak accepts the following options:

-h, --help

Shows brief usage information

-V, --version

Prints version and exits

-u, --user= STRING

Specifies the user name with which to identify to the server

-p, --password= STRING

Specifies the password with which to identify to the server

-c, --command=STRING

Required option. Command to execute: logrotate, trace or info

-a, --url=URL

Required option. URL where the administration interface can be found. This target must be defined previously in cherokee-admin, enabling a "Remote Administration" type handler (Virtual Servers->Behaviour->Add new rule, and then Handler->"Remote Administration"). The deffinition of a security mechanism is highly encouraged.

-l, --log=PATH

Log file to be rotated (Only to be used when -c is logrotate)

-t, --trace=STRING

Modules to be traced (Only to be used when -c is trace). Cherokee must have been compiled with the --enable-trace for this to work. Everything traceable with CHEROKEE_TRACE can also be traced this way.
