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
