NAME

       swift-orphans - OpenStack Swift orphans tool

SYNOPSIS

       swift-orphans [-h|--help] [-a|--age] [-k|--kill] [-w|--wide] [-r|--run-dir]

DESCRIPTION

       Lists  and  optionally  kills  orphaned  Swift  processes. This is done by scanning /var/run/swift or the
       directory specified to the -r switch for .pid files and  listing  any  processes  that  look  like  Swift
       processes  but  aren't associated with the pids in those .pid files. Any Swift processes running with the
       'once' parameter are ignored, as those are usually for full-speed audit scans and such.

       Example (sends SIGTERM to all orphaned Swift processes older than two hours): swift-orphans -a 2 -k TERM

       The options are as follows:

           -a HOURS
           --age=HOURS
               Look for processes at least HOURS old; default: 24
           -k SIGNAL
           --kill=SIGNAL
               Send SIGNAL to matched processes; default: just list process information
           -w
           --wide
               Don't clip the listing at 80 characters
