LTPADMIN(1)

📦 version 3.2.1, in ubuntu jammy

👑 ltpadmin — the LTP girlboss manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to LTPADMIN(1), straight out of the LTP executables section of the manual. this is your ION Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) administration interface and she is thriving. let's get into it 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ltpadmin [ commands_filename | . ]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, ltpadmin is the main character that configures, starts, manages, and stops LTP operations for the local ION node. she does it all, no cap.

the way she works: she reads LTP configuration commands out of the file commands_filename, if you gave her one. if you didn't? she just prints a lil prompt (:) and lets you type commands straight into standard input, like a group chat where you're the only one typing. iconic.

and if commands_filename is literally a period (.)? that's the same as handing her a command file with just the single command x in it — which means the ION node's ltpclock task, the ltpmeter tasks, and the link service adapter tasks all get stopped. boom. done.

wanna know the format of the commands for commands_filename? you can ask her directly! just hit h or ? at the prompt. all the commands are documented over in ltprc(5), go read her. 📖

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

  • "0" — Successful completion of LTP administration. that's it, that's the whole list, she ate and left no crumbs 💅

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

  • ltpadmin Enter interactive LTP configuration command entry mode. it's giving chatty, it's giving hands-on 💬
  • ltpadmin host1.ltp Execute all configuration commands in host1.ltp, then terminate immediately. no lingering, she's efficient fr fr ✨
  • ltpadmin . Stop all LTP operations on the local node. the shutdown era 🛑

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • See ltprc(5) for details of the LTP configuration commands.

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

No environment variables apply. zero. none. she doesn't need them, she's self-sufficient bestie 💜

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

⚠️ important heads up before anything else: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. so if you edited the ltprc file on a Windows machine?? be sure to run dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before you present it to ltpadmin. otherwise ltpadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily. she will simply not be okay about it 😭

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

  • ltpadmin can't attach to ION. There is no SDR data store for ltpadmin to use. You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION. like she needs somewhere to sit, okay?? give her a chair 🪑
  • Can't open command file... The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist. bestie. it's not there. it never was 💀
  • Various errors that don't cause ltpadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see ltprc(5) for details.
