NAME

       swift-init - OpenStack Swift swift-init tool

SYNOPSIS

       swift-init
        <server> [<server> ...] <command> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  swift-init  tool  can  be  used  to initialize all swift daemons available as part of
       OpenStack Swift. Instead of calling individual init scripts for each swift daemon, one can
       just  use  swift-init.  With swift-init you can initialize just one swift service, such as
       the "proxy", or a combination of them. The tool also allows one to use the  keywords  such
       as "all", "main" and "rest" for the <server> argument.

       Servers:

           proxy
               - Initializes the swift proxy daemon

           object, object-replicator, object-auditor, object-updater
               - Initializes the swift object daemons above

           container, container-update, container-replicator, container-auditor
               - Initializes the swift container daemons above

           account, account-auditor, account-reaper, account-replicator
               - Initializes the swift account daemons above

           all
               - Initializes all the swift daemons

           main
               - Initializes all the main swift daemons
                 (proxy, container, account and object servers)

           rest
               - Initializes all the other swift background daemons
                 (updater, replicator, auditor, reaper, etc)

       Commands:

           force-reload:        alias for reload
           no-daemon:           start a server interactively
           no-wait:             spawn server and return immediately
           once:                start server and run one pass on supporting daemons
           reload:              graceful shutdown then restart on supporting servers
           reload-seamless:          reload supporting servers with no downtime
           restart:             stops then restarts server
           shutdown:            allow current requests to finish on supporting servers
           start:               starts a server
           status:              display status of tracked pids for server
           stop:                stops a server

       Options:
           -h, --help                show this help message and exit
           -v, --verbose             display verbose output
           -w, --no-wait             won't wait for server to start before returning
           -o, --once                only run one pass of daemon
           -n, --no-daemon           start server interactively
           -g, --graceful            send SIGHUP to supporting servers
           -c N, --config-num=N      send command to the Nth server only
           -k N, --kill-wait=N       wait N seconds for processes to die (default 15)
           -r  RUN_DIR,  --run-dir=RUN_DIR  directory  where  the  pids  will  be stored (default
           /var/run/swift)
           --strict return non-zero status code if some config is missing. Default mode if server
           is explicitly named.
           --non-strict  return  zero status code even if some config is missing. Default mode if
           server is one of aliases `all`, `main` or `rest`.
           --kill-after-timeout kill daemon and all children after kill-wait period.
