✨ mfscgiserv(8) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the mfscgiserv page from section 8 of the manual — it's part of MooseFS, and it's literally the little server that lets you peek at what your MooseFS is doing 👀

🌸 NAME 🌸

mfscgiserv — start HTTP/CGI server for MooseFS monitoring 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mfscgiserv [-H BIND_HOST] [-P BIND_PORT] [-R ROOT_PATH] [-D DATA_PATH]
[-t LOCKTIMEOUT] [-f [-v]] [ACTION]

mfscgiserv -h

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So mfscgiserv is a very simple HTTP server that can run CGI scripts for MooseFS monitoring. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's not doing the most, it's just doing its little job and looking cute while doing it 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h — prints usage info and dips out. iconic. 👑
  • -H BIND_HOST — the local address to listen on (default: any). like, any any. she's open to everyone 🙈
  • -P BIND_PORT — the port to listen on (default: 9425) 🔥
  • -R ROOT_PATH — the local path used as the HTTP document root (default is CGIDIR, which got set up at configure time) 🎀
  • -D DATA_PATH — the working directory (default: /var/lib/mfs) 🍓
  • -f — run in the foreground, do not daemonize. main character stays on screen 💅
  • -v — log requests on stderr 👀
  • -t LOCKTIMEOUT — how long to wait for the lockfile, in seconds (default is 60 seconds). she will wait, but only for so long ⏳

🦋 ACTION 🦋

ACTION is one of start, stop, restart or test. The default action is restart.

The test action will give you one of exactly two responses:

  • "mfscgiserv pid: PID"
  • "mfscgiserv is not running"

no in-between, no maybe, she's giving you a straight answer 💀
