NAME

       swift-init - Openstack-swift swift-init tool

SYNOPSIS

       swift-init
        <server> [<server> ...] <command> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  swift-init  tool  can  be  used  to initialize all swift daemons available as part of
       openstack-swift. Instead of calling individual init scripts for each swift daemon, one can
       just  use  swift-init.  With swift-init you can initialize just one swift service, such as
       the "proxy", or a combination of them. The tool also allows one to use the  keywords  such
       as "all", "main" and "rest" for the <server> argument.

       Servers:

           proxy
               - Initializes the swift proxy daemon

           object, object-replicator, object-auditor, object-updater
               - Initializes the swift object daemons above

           container, container-update, container-replicator, container-auditor
               - Initializes the swift container daemons above

           account, account-auditor, account-reaper, account-replicator
               - Initializes the swift account daemons above

           all
               - Initializes all the swift daemons

           main
               - Initializes all the main swift daemons
                 (proxy, container, account and object servers)

           rest
               - Initializes all the other swift background daemons
                 (updater, replicator, auditor, reaper, etc)

       Commands:

           force-reload:        alias for reload
           no-daemon:           start a server interactively
           no-wait:             spawn server and return immediately
           once:                start server and run one pass on supporting daemons
           reload:              graceful shutdown then restart on supporting servers
           restart:             stops then restarts server
           shutdown:            allow current requests to finish on supporting servers
           start:               starts a server
           status:              display status of tracked pids for server
           stop:                stops a server

       Options:
           -h, --help                show this help message and exit
           -v, --verbose             display verbose output
           -w, --no-wait             won't wait for server to start before returning
           -o, --once                only run one pass of daemon
           -n, --no-daemon           start server interactively
           -g, --graceful            send SIGHUP to supporting servers
           -c N, --config-num=N      send command to the Nth server only
           -k N, --kill-wait=N       wait N seconds for processes to die (default 15)
           -r  RUN_DIR,  --run-dir=RUN_DIR  directory  where  the  pids  will  be stored (default
           /var/run/swift)
           --strict return non-zero status code if some config is missing. Default mode if server
           is explicitly named.
           --non-strict  return  zero status code even if some config is missing. Default mode if
           server is one of aliases `all`, `main` or `rest`.
           --kill-after-timeout kill daemon and all children after kill-wait period.
