# dirvish-runall(8)

run a set of dirvish backup jobs.

## NAME

dirvish-runall - run a set of dirvish backup jobs.

## SYNOPSIS

**dirvish-runall***\[OPTIONS\]*

## DESCRIPTION

Run all the jobs specified in the **Runall** field of the dirvish master configuration file.

## OPTIONS

Each option may be unambiguously abbreviated.

- .BI --config " configfile"

  Read *configfile* for the **Runall:** field. By default **dirvish-runall** will use the **Runall:** field from the master configuration file.

  This will only be used by **dirvish-runall** itself and not be propagated to the **dirvish** processes.

  See **[dirvish.conf(5)](/dirvish.conf/5.md)** for more details.

- .B --no-run

  - .B --dry-run

  Don't actually do anything. Just display what would have happened.

- .B --quiet

  Run quietly, only report errors.

  Normally **dirvish-runall** will report the dirvish commands invoked with timestamps.

- .B --version

  Print the version information and exit.

## EXIT CODES

To facilitate further automation and integration of **dirvish-runall** with other tools **dirvish-runall** provides rationalised exit codes. The exit codes are range based.  While the code for a specific error may change from one version to another it will remain within the specified range.  So don't test for specific exit codes but instead test for a range of values. To the degree possible higher value ranges indicate more severe errors.

- 0

  success

- 1-199

  Number of **dirvish** jobs that failed.  If more than 199 jobs failed 199 will be the exit code.

- 200-219

  An error was encountered in loading a configuration file.

- 220-254

  An error was detected in the configuration.

- 255

  Incorrect usage.

## FILES
