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.
