Ubuntu Manpage: realmctl - Send commands to the DNSSEC-Tools realms daemon

NAME

       realmctl - Send commands to the DNSSEC-Tools realms daemon

SYNOPSIS

         realmctl [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The realmctl command sends commands to dtrealms, the DNSSEC-Tools realms daemon.  In most
       cases, dtrealms will send a response to realmctl.  realmctl will print a success or
       failure message, as appropriate.  Only one option may be specified on a command line.

OPTIONS

The following options are handled by realmctl.

-allstart
Starts all suspended realms.

-allstop
Stops all running realms.

-cmd -- realm cmd args
-command -- realm cmd args
Sends a command to the specified realm. The command given as cmd will be sent to the
rollerd running in realm realm.

The double-dash given above is critical for proper argument parsing of the command
line.

All command-line arguments, as args above, following the realm name and command name
will be sent as the command.

Whatever output the command gives will be returned to realmctl, which will then print
that output. The command's return code will be appended to the command's output. No
attempt will be made to analyze the output for success or failure.

For example, this command will tell the realm giant-isp to stop rollover of zone
bob.example.com:

$ realmctl -command -- giant-isp rollctl -skipzone bob.example.com

Warning: This is an inherently dangerous command. When choosing a user under which
the realm and rollover commands will be executed, be aware that this problem exists.
realmctl may be modified in the future to restrict the commands that may be executed
with this option.

-display
Starts the realms status GUI.

-halt [now]
Cleanly halts dtrealms execution.

-logfile logfile
Sets the dtrealms log file to logfile. This must be a valid logging file, meaning
that if logfile already exists, it must be a regular file. The only exceptions to
this are if logfile is /dev/stdout or /dev/tty.

-loglevel loglevel
Sets the dtrealms logging level to loglevel. This must be one of the valid logging
levels defined in realmmgr.pm(3).

If a logging level is not specified, then the list of valid levels will be printed and
realmctl will exit. The list is given in both text and numeric forms.

-logtz logtz
Sets the dtrealms logging timezone to loglevel. This must be either gmt (for
Greenwich Mean Time or local (for the host's local time.)

-nodisplay
Stops the realms status GUI.

-realmstatus
Gets the current status of all the realms from dtrealms. For each realm, the name,
execution status, and zone counts are printed. The zone counts are, in order, the
number of zones in normal state, the number of zones in ZSK rollover, the number of
zones in KSK rollover, and the number of zones waiting in KSK phase 6. The zone
counts are determined by sending the realm's rollover manager an information request.
Therefore, if the zone is inactive, the zone counts are not included.

Example:

dev active normal: 18 ZSK: 3 KSK: 1 KSK phase 6: 0
test-r inactive
money active normal: 10 ZSK: 0 KSK: 0 KSK phase 6: 1

-shutdown
Synonym for -halt.

-startrealm realm
Starts the suspended realm named by realm. Multiple realms can be specified on the
command line. For instance, this command will send the startrealm command to dtrealms
for three realms.

$ realmctl -startrealm testing production customers

-status
Has dtrealms write several of its operational parameters to its log file. The
parameters are also reported to realmctl, which prints them to the screen.

-stoprealm realm
Stops the realm named by realm. Multiple realms can be specified on the command line.
For instance, this command will send the stoprealm command to dtrealms for two realms.

$ realmctl -stoprealm big-isp-3 misc-customers

-Version
Displays the version information for realmctl and the DNSSEC-Tools package.

-quiet
Prevents output from being given. Both error and non-error output is stopped.

-help
Displays a usage message.

EXIT CODES

       realmctl may give the following exit codes:

       0 - Successful execution
       1 - Error sending the command to dtrealms.
       2 - Missing realm argument.
       3 - Too many command options specified.
       4 - Missing argument for -cmd or -command.
       5 - No option specified.
       200 - dtrealms is not running.
       201 - Configuration file checks failed.
