✨ NAME ✨

r4dd — Remote For Device-under-test (R4D) Daemon 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

r4dd [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-l LOGFILE] [-v [VERBOSE]]

literally that's it. so clean. so demure. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: the Remote For Device-under-test (R4D) Daemon is out here being the controlling server for test racks. main character energy fr fr 👑

every single Rack comes with a serial device server and a power control switch. and a rack can host several DUTs — that's device-under-test, iykyk 💀

so r4d connects to the serial device server and the power switch so it can perform actions on user request. and how does the user even talk to it?? through a SOAP interface. yes bestie, SOAP. we love a vintage protocol moment 🧼✨

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG — use configuration file CONFIG. give it the file, it uses the file. slay 🍓
  • -h, --help — show a help message and exit. the classic. we stan a helpful king 🫶
  • -l LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE — log messages to file LOGFILE. receipts!! keep them!! 🎀
  • -v, --verbose VERBOSITY — enable verbose messages and set the verbosity level to VERBOSITY. and if no VERBOSITY is given, the verbosity level is set to 1. so -v all by itself? still works. still gives you the tea at level 1 ☕
