powermand(8)

powermand8

Power control and monitoring daemon

Usage

powermand [-options]

Overview

powermand provides power management in a data center or compute cluster environment.

Options

-c, --conf filename

Override the default location of the powerman configuration file /etc/powerman/powerman.conf.

-s, --stdio

Talk to a client on stdin/stdout rather than listening for network connections. This is useful for testing new configurations, since the powerman client protocol is friendly to humans.

-Y, --short-circuit-delay

Ignore all device script delay statements. This is useful for testing with simulated devices, where the delays slow down testing for no benefit.

-d, --debug mask

Set mask for debugging output.

-h, --help

Provide a synopsis of the command options.

-V, --version

Display the powerman version number and exit.

Files
