NAME

       tirex-send - send messages to a tirex daemon

SYNOPSIS

       tirex-send [OPTIONS] TYPE [KEY=VALUE ...]

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
               Display help message.

       -d, --debug
               Run in debug mode. You'll see the actual messages sent and received.

       -c, --config=DIR
               Use the config directory DIR instead of /etc/tirex.

       -t, --to=DESTINATION
               Talk to DESTINATION, which can be 'master' (default), 'syncd', or a port number.

       -w, --wait=SECONDS
               Wait SECONDS for the answer after sending the message. Default is 5 seconds.  If
               set to 0, don't wait for an answer at all. This is the default when the
               destination is set to syncd.

DESCRIPTION

       tirex-send sends a message through a UDP socket to a tirex daemon running on the local
       machine and waits for the answer. It can be used to check whether a daemon is running,
       activate debugging in the daemon, send a render request, etc.

       Messages are normally sent to the tirex-master daemon, but can also be sent to a sync
       daemon or one of the rendering backends.

       You have to give the TYPE of the message on the command line and optionally some fields in
       the format KEY=VALUE.

MESSAGES FOR MASTER

       ping    Check whether server is alive.
