taskdctl - Taskserver control program

taskdctl [start|stop|restart|graceful|status]

The taskdctl program allows you to start and stop Taskserver. The TASKDDATA environment variable is used to locate the root data structure, and query the configuration to obtain the location of the pid file.

Taskdctl supports several commands:

Starts the server as a daemon, if it is not already running. It is harmless to run this command if the server is already running.
Stops the server, if it is running. It is harmless to run this command if the server is not running.
Stops the server, if it is running, then starts the server again. This is done by killing the server process. This will interrupt any current sync sessions, probably causing an error. It is harmless to run this command if the server is not running.
Stops the server, if it is running, by waiting for the server to go idle, then restarts the server again. This is done by sending SIGHUP signal to the server. This will not interrupt any current sync sessions. It is harmless to run this command if the server is not running.
Shows the status of the Taskserver, whether it is running or not.

Taskdctl requires that the TAKSDDATA environment variable be properly set. This is because the root data structure is accessed.
