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)
