KOMRUNNING(8)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is KOMMRUNNING — a little program whose whole job is checking whether the LysKOM server is running or not 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

komrunning [-c config-file] [-v|-V] [start|stop]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, real talk — this manual page gives you the ✨brief✨ rundown of the komrunning command. It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. Instead it has documentation in the GNU Info format, which you'll find mentioned down below 🫶

komrunning controls the state of the LysKOM server, and it does that together with the updateLysKOM program, which gets run via cron. bestie duo, honestly 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• no arguments at all — when you invoke komrunning with no arguments, it reports whether lyskomd is currently running or not, and whether it should be running or not. two truths, one command, iconic ✨
• start — komrunning start attempts to start lyskomd. go go go 🚀
• stop — komrunning stop attempts to stop lyskomd, and it will not return until the server has saved its database and exited. so don't panic if it just sits there, it's being responsible 😭
• -c config-file — komrunning uses the same configuration file as lyskomd. You can use -c config-file to override the compiled-in default.

⚠️ but note, however: this option is not passed along to updateLysKOM if komrunning invokes it. so this option should be used with extreme caution. fr fr, be careful 🚨

• -v, -V — these cause komrunning to report its version number and exit. cute and quick 🌸
