💅 WWCTL-POWER-CYCLE 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from the wwctl manual (like, section 1, the grown-up command section) and today's main character is wwctl-power-cycle — the little subcommand that hits the power button on your nodes. no cap, it literally just power cycles the given node(s). let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

wwctl-power-cycle — bestie, it power cycles the given node(s). that's the whole vibe. 🔥

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wwctl power cycle [OPTIONS] [PATTERN ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this command cycles power for a whole set of nodes that you specify with PATTERN. iconic behaviour honestly.

and what even is a node pattern? okay so it's a comma-separated list of individual patterns — yes, a list of lists basically, we love a nested moment 💅. each pattern can be either:

• a full node name, or
• a node range like node[01-03,05] — look at her, so compact, so efficient, we stan 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --fanout=50 — how many commands should be executed in parallel. default is 50, so it's giving multitasking queen energy fr fr 👑
• -h, --help[=false] — show help for cycle. classic, essential, we love a support system 💖
• -s, --show[=false] — only show the command which will be executed. like a dress rehearsal, no actual power gets cycled 🩰✨

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these ones aren't hers originally, she got them from her parent commands. nepotism? maybe. useful? absolutely 💜

• -d, --debug[=false] — run with debugging messages enabled. when you need to see everything 👀
• -v, --verbose[=false] — run with increased verbosity. she's a talker now 🗣️
• --warewulfconf="" — set the warewulf configuration file. default is empty string "", just so you know 🍓

ok real talk: --debug[=false], --verbose[=false], --help[=false] and --show[=false] all show that false default — so they're off unless you go turn them on. that's the vibe check and they passed ✅

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• wwctl-power(1) — go read the parent, she raised this one 🫶
