ParaStation5 Administrator's Guide 47
psiadmin
psiadmin — the ParaStation administration and management tool
Synopsis
psiadmin [ -denqrsv? ] [ -c command ] [ -f program-file ] [ --usage ]
Description
The psiadmin command provides an administrator interface to the ParaStation system.
The command reads directives from standard input in interactive mode. The syntax of each directive is
checked and the appropriate request is sent to the local ParaStation daemon psid(8).
In order to send psiadmin into batch mode, either use the -c or the -f. The syntax of the directives is
exactly the same as in interactive mode for both options.
Most of the directives listed below can be executed by general users. Only modifying parameters, killing
foreign jobs and shutting down single nodes or the whole system requires root privilege.
Options
-c , --command=command
Execute the single directive command and exit.
-d
Do not automatically start up the local psid(8).
-e , --echo
Echo each executed directive to stdout.
-f , --file=program-file
Read commands from the file program-file. Exit as soon as EOF is reached.
It might be useful to enable echoing (-e) when acting on a script file.
This option silently enables the -q option suppressing the prompt.
-n , --noinit
Ignore the initialization file .psiadminrc.
-q , --quiet
Suppress printing the prompt each time waiting for a new command. This is useful in combination with
the -f option.
-s , --start-all
Try to start all daemons within the cluster. This option is equivalent to the execution of the add directive
straight after the startup of the administration tool.
-r , --reset
Do a reset of the ParaStation system on startup.
-v , --version
Output version information and exit.
-? , --help
Show a help message.
