NAME

       traffic_cop - Traffic Server watchdog

DESCRIPTION

       traffic_cop  is  a  watchdog  program that is responsible for starting traffic_manager and
       traffic_server and monitoring them for responsiveness. If either of  these  processes  are
       determined to be unresponsive, traffic_cop will kill and restart them.

       On  Linux,  traffic_cop  will also monitor available memory and swap space, restarting the
       watched processes if the available memory falls below  a  minimum  threshold.  The  memory
       thresholds   can   be   configured  with  the  proxy.config.cop.linux_min_swapfree_kb  and
       proxy.config.cop.linux_min_memfree_kb variables.

OPTIONS

       -d, --debug
              Emit debugging messages.

       -o, --stdout
              traffic_cop ordinarily logs to syslog, however for debugging purposes, this  option
              causes it to print messages to standard output instead.

       -s, --stop
              Kill  children  using  SIGSTOP  instead  of  SIGKILL.  This option is primarily for
              debugging.

       -V, --version
              Print version information and exit.
