swift-init(1)

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
    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.
