GOTWEBCTL(8)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GOTWEBCTL(8) page — that's the manual name, and this is the System Manager's Manual vibe. This whole page is about gotwebctl, the tool that controls the Game of Trees Web Daemon, aka gotwebd(8). iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gotwebctl [-hV] [-f path] command [arg ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gotwebctl controls the gotwebd(8) daemon.

Access to the gotwebd(8) control socket requires root privileges. 🚨 ngl, do not skip this part.

The options for gotwebctl are as follows:

• -h — shows usage information and exits immediately. Bye 👋
• -f path — sets the path to the control socket that gotwebd(8) is listening on. If you don't specify it, the default path /var/run/gotwebd.sock will be used. periodt.
• -V, --version — shows the program version and exits immediately. slay.

The commands for gotwebctl are as follows:

• info — displays information about a running gotwebd(8) instance. cute little vibe check 👀
• stop — asks a running gotwebd(8) instance to gracefully stop itself. This is equivalent to sending a TERM signal to gotwebd(8) without requiring knowledge of the process ID to send the signal to.

The control socket will be closed by gotwebd(8), allowing a new instance of gotwebd(8) to take over. New FastCGI socket connections will no longer be accepted, but FastCGI requests currently in progress are still processed to completion. lowkey important.
