ACSADMIN(1)

📦 version 3.2.1, in ubuntu jammy

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, acsadmin is the ION Aggregate Custody Signal (ACS) administration interface 🌸 It's part of the BP executables crew, and it's giving main character energy ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

acsadmin [ commands_filename ]

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So acsadmin is the one that sets up aggregate custody signal behavior for your local ION node 💅 It takes its orders from ACS configuration commands in the file commands_filename, if you give it one 📄

No file? No problem. It shows you a little prompt (:) so you can type your commands straight into standard input 🫶

Not sure what commands_filename is supposed to look like? Type h or ? at the prompt and it'll spill the format tea 🍵 All of the commands are documented in acsrc(5) 📚

🍓 EXIT STATUS 🍓

  • 0 — ACS administration finished successfully 💖

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

Just type this to jump into interactive command entry mode 💅:

acsadmin

Or pass it a commands file, and it'll run every command in host1.acs and then bounce right away 🦋:

acsadmin host1.acs

🎀 FILES 🎀

For all the deets on ACS configuration commands, check out acsrc(5) 📚✨

🙈 ENVIRONMENT 🙈

No environment variables apply, so there's nothing extra to set up here 🌸

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Okay, listen up bestie: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the acsrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to acsadmin. Otherwise acsadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily 😭

The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log 🔍:

  • acsadmin can't attach to ION. — There's no SDR data store for acsadmin to use 🥺 You should run ionadmin(1) first to set one up for ION 🔥
  • Can't open command file... — The commands_filename you passed on the command line doesn't exist 🙅‍♀️

Various errors that don't stop acsadmin from failing, but do get noted in the ion.log log file, may come from improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file 💜 Check acsrc(5) for the deets on the correct format ✨
