psiadmin

psiadmin the ParaStation administration and management tool

Synopsis

psiadmin [ -denqrsv? ] [ -c command ] [ -f program-file] [ --usage ]

Description

The psiadmin command provides an administrator interface to the ParaStation system.

The command reads directives from standard input in interactive mode. The syntax of each directive is checked and the appropriate request is sent to the local ParaStation daemon psid(8).

In order to send psiadmin into batch mode, either use the -cor the -f. The syntax of the directives is exactly the same as in interactive mode for both options.

Most of the directives listed below can be executed by general users. Only modifying parameters, killing foreign jobs and shutting down single nodes or the whole system requires root privilege.

Options

-c , --command=command

Execute the single directive command and exit.

-d

Do not automatically start up the local psid(8).

-e , --echo

Echo each executed directive to stdout.

-f , --file=program-file

Read commands from the file program-file. Exit as soon as EOF is reached.

It might be useful to enable echoing (-e) when acting on a script file.

This option silently enables the -qoption suppressing the prompt.

-n , --noinit

Ignore the initialization file .psiadminrc.

-q , --quiet

Suppress printing the prompt each time waiting for a new command. This is useful in combination with the -foption.

-s , --start-all

Try to start all daemons within the cluster. This option is equivalent to the execution of the add directive straight after the startup of the administration tool.

-r , --reset

Do a reset of the ParaStation system on startup.

-v , --version

Output version information and exit.

-? , --help

Show a help message.
