KARMACTL(1)

NAME
Karma - karmactl

DESCRIPTION
The karmactl utility is used to control the main karma daemon karmad. Use it to start and stop the daemon, return status of a running daemon, or reread the config file.

SYNOPSIS
Invoke the karmactl utility from the command line as follows:

`$ karmactl -s'

use the `-t' option to get the status of a running daemon, or the `-r' option to reread the config file:

`$ karmactl -r'

When you want to stop the karmad daemon, you can do it like this:

`$ karmactl -p'

Note that these commands are dependant on the process id of the current running process. If for some reason that pid wasn't written to the .karma.pid file, you may specify it manually like this:

`$ karmactl -p -i 2545'

Finally you can always use `-h' to get help:

`$ karmactl -h'
