NAME

accel-cmd − send commands to accel-ppp

SYNOPSIS

accel-cmd [-n] [-4] [-6] [-f FAMILY] [-H HOST] [-p PORT] [-i TIMEOUT] [--] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

accel-cmd is a client for accel-ppp’s cli module. It sends COMMANDs to accel-ppp’s tcp interface and displays the result on standard output. If no COMMAND is supplied, then accel-cmd reads and sends data from its standard input.

The "help" COMMAND can be used to get information about available COMMANDs and their syntax.

OPTIONS

−f FAMILY, −−family=FAMILY

Connect to HOST using the given protocol family. Supported families are inet (IPv4), inet6 (IPv6) and unspec (automatic).

	−4		Shorcut for --family=inet.
	−6		Shorcut for --family=inet6.

−H HOST, −−host=HOST

Set the host name or IP address to connect to. Defaults to localhost.

−p PORT, −−port=PORT

Set the service name or port number on which connection should be done. Defaults to 2001.

−n, −−numeric

Inhibit name resolution of HOST and PORT. In this case, HOST must be an IP address and PORT a numeric port number.

−t TIMEOUT, −−timeout=TIMEOUT

Set an inactivity timeout. TIMEOUT must be an integer and may be immediately followed by a time unit. Supported units are s (seconds), ms (milliseconds) and us (microseconds). The default unit is s. If this option is not supplied, or if TIMEOUT is zero, then no timeout is set.

−P PASSWORD, −−password=PASSWORD

Set the password. If this option is supplied and if PASSWORD is not empty, then password will be used for client authentication.

−v, −−verbose

Verbose output.

−V, −−version

Display version number and exit.

−h, −−help

Display help message and exit.

EXAMPLES

Get information about available commands:

$ accel-cmd help

Send the "show sessions" command to accel-ppp on localhost and display
the result on standard output:

$ accel-cmd show sessions

Execute commands stored in file "cmds":

$ accel-cmd < cmds

Same as above, but send commands to another host and timeout after 1.5
seconds of inactivity:

$ accel-cmd --timeout 1500ms --host accelppp.example.com < cmds

EXIT STATUS

	0		success,
	1		invalid command line option,
	2		invalid parameter given to a command line option,
	3		connection to accel-ppp failed,
	4		timeout expired,
	5		COMMAND too big (standard input may be used instead for sending big amounts of data),

100 (or above)

internal error.
