SYNOPSIS

serverctlp -c class -k start|stop|restart|ping [-d server_root] [-v] [-q]
serverctlp -h

DESCRIPTION

serverctlp uses a Server::Control subclass to start, stop, restart or ping (show status of) a server.

OPTIONS

Required options: -c and -k, and possibly others depending on subclass

-c, --class         Specify the subclass of Server::Control to use
-d, --server-root   Specify the server root - will determine from configuration file if given
-h, --help          Print help message
-k, --action        Specify action - start, stop, restart, or ping
-q, --quiet         Show only errors and warnings
-v, --verbose       Show verbose output
-I                  Library paths to include

In general, any constructor parameter to Server::Control to the subclass can be passed here (replacing underscores with dashes), e.g.

--name
--wait-for-status-secs

RC FILE

You may place options in an rc file called serverctl.yml in the server root, e.g.

# This is my serverctl.yml
use_sudo: 1
wait_for_status_secs: 5

You can also specify the path of the rc file with --serverctlrc.
