💖 PPS(1) — pps 💖

OpenPMIx girlies rise up, this is the pps page and it's literally just "who's out here running rn" but make it a command 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pps — spill the tea on the identity of jobs running in the system 🫖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pps [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, pps hands you the namespace of every job that's currently executing in the system. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. you ask, it tells you who's on the dance floor 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

pps is down to accept these options, no cap:

  • -h | --help <arg0> — show the help message 🥺 if you don't pass the optional argument, you get a generalized help message, pretty much like the info right here on this page. but if you do pass an argument, you get a way more detailed help message for that specific command line option. iykyk ✨
  • -v | --verbose — turn on debug output. she's chatty now 💬
  • -V | --version — print the version and dip 👋
  • --uri <arg0> — specify the URI of the server we're supposed to connect to, or the name of the file that contains that info (which you write as <file:filename>) 🦋
  • --namespace <arg0> — the namespace of the daemon we should connect to 🎀
  • --pid <arg0> — the PID of the daemon we should connect to (an int => the PID itself, or file:<file> for a file containing the PID) 🔍
  • --system-server-first — first look for a system server, and connect to it if it's found 👀
  • --system-server — connect to a system-level server 🖥️
  • --tmpdir <arg0> — set the root for the session directory tree 🌳
  • --wait-to-connect <arg0> — delay for the specified number of seconds before trying to connect ⏳
  • --num-connect-retries <arg0> — max number of times to try to connect 🔁
  • --nodes — display Node Information 🌈

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

returns 0 for success, and a non-zero error code otherwise. simple as 🍓
