NAME

       lavapdu-runner - daemon to control a PDU and implement instructions from the lavapdu-listen daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       lavapdu-runner [--logfile=LOGFILE] [--loglevel=LOGLEVEL]

       lavapdu-runner [{-h | --help}]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the lavapdu-runner command.

       lavapdu-runner is a daemon which reads the queue created by lavapdu-listen and executes the commands on
       the specified PDU. The daemon logs in to the PDU, navigates the menu of the control interface, executes
       the requested command, logs out and moves on to the next instruction in the queue.

OPTIONS

       --logfile=LOGFILE
           Changes the logfile used by lavapdu-runner. By default this would be /var/log/lavapdu-runner.log

       --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
           Changes the logging level used by lavapdu-runner. By default this would be INFO. For more content,
           use DEBUG.

       -h, --help
           Show summary of options.

FILES

       /etc/lavapdu/lavapdu.conf
           The system-wide configuration file to control the behaviour of lavapdu-runner.

           With version 0.0.4, lavapdu-runner no longer tries to guess the type of interface on the specified
           PDU as this proved to be unreliable.

           lavapdu-runner requires that the driver for your PDU is specified in the /etc/lavapdu/lavapdu.conf
           file. Examples are given in the default file but you will need to edit this file to specify the PDU
           address (hostname or IP address) and the driver to use for that PDU.

           Check the /var/log/lavapdu-runner.log logfile to ensure that the driver specified is working with
           your PDU and restart the lavapdu-runner daemon when changing the configuration file.  sudo service
           lavapdu-runner restart

           Note that /etc/lavapdu/lavapdu.conf is in JSON format, use http://www.jsonlint.com to verify the
           syntax.

           Setting the logging level to DEBUG will help you see what the runner is doing - set the level back to
           INFO once the PDU is working.
