DESCRIPTION

       The `buildbot' command-line tool can be used  to  start  or  stop  a  buildmaster  and  to
       interact  with  a  running buildmaster instance.  Some of its subcommands are intended for
       buildmaster admins, while some are for developers  who  are  editing  the  code  that  the
       buildbot is monitoring.

OPTIONS

   Commands
       create-master
              Create and populate a directory for a new buildmaster

       upgrade-master
              Upgrade an existing buildmaster directory for the current version

       start  Start a buildmaster

       stop   Stop a buildmaster
