DESCRIPTION

       anytun-controld configures the multi-connection support for Anytun. It reads a
       connection/routing table and outputs it via a tcp socket to all connected Anytun servers.
       When the control daemon is restarted with a new connection/routing table all Anytun
       servers automatically load the new configuration. Please make sure to protect that
       information as it contains the connection keys.

OPTIONS

       -D, --nodaemonize
           This option instructs anytun-controld to run in foreground instead of becoming a
           daemon which is the default.

       -u, --username <username>
           run as this user. If no group is specified (-g) the default group of the user is used.
           The default is to not drop privileges.

       -g, --groupname <groupname>
           run as this group. If no username is specified (-u) this gets ignored. The default is
           to not drop privileges.

       -C, --chroot <path>
           Instruct anytun-controld to run in a chroot jail. The default is to not run in chroot.

       -P, --write-pid <filename>
           Instruct anytun-controld to write it’s pid to this file. The default is to not create
           a pid file.

       -L, --log <target>:<level>[,<param1>[,<param2>[..]]]
           add log target to logging system. This can be invoked several times in order to log to
           different targets at the same time. Every target hast its own log level which is a
           number between 0 and 5. Where 0 means disabling log and 5 means debug messages are
           enabled.

           The file target can be used more the once with different levels. If no target is
           provided at the command line a single target with the config
           syslog:3,anytun-controld,daemon is added.

           The following targets are supported:

           syslog
               log to syslog daemon, parameters <level>[,<logname>[,<facility>]]

           file
               log to file, parameters <level>[,<path>]

           stdout
               log to standard output, parameters <level>

           stderr
               log to standard error, parameters <level>

       -U, --debug
           This option instructs Anytun to run in debug mode. It implicits -D (don’t daemonize)
           and adds a log target with the configuration stdout:5 (logging with maximum level). In
           future releases there might be additional output when this option is supplied.

       -f, --file <path>
           The path to the file which holds the sync information.

       -X, --control-host <hostname|ip>[:<port>]
           fetch the config from this host. The default is not to use a control host and
           therefore this is empty. Mind that the port can be omitted in which case port 2323 is
           used. If you want to specify an ipv6 address and a port you have to use [ and ] to
           separate the address from the port, eg.: [::1]:1234. If you want to use the default
           port [ and ] can be omitted.

BUGS

       Most likely there are some bugs in Anytun. If you find a bug, please let the developers
       know at satp@anytun.org. Of course, patches are preferred.
