TCOM(8)

NAME
tcom - control operation of server tftp daemon

SYNOPSIS
tcom

DESCRIPTION
Tcom is a program to control the execution of the server trivial file transfer daemon. It sends user commands to the daemon by writing them into a shared file and signalling the daemon; it watches the daemon's log to obtain the results of the commands. The following commands are supported:

help
    display a list of commands

input trace on|off
    turn tracing of input packets on or off

output trace on|off
    turn tracing of output packets on or off

trace on|off
    turn all packet tracing on or off

times
    display server parent and children process times

uptime
    display daemon up time

exit
    force daemon to shut down and exit

FILES

/tftpd/lock
    lock file containing daemon's PID

/tftpd/command
    command file to daemon

/tftpd/slog
    daemon's log file

SEE ALSO
tftpd (8)

BUGS
Two tcom's running at the same time will result in chaos. Also, watching the daemon's log file uses a lot of CPU time.
