swift-init(1) - Linux man page

Name

swift-init - Openstack-swift swift-init tool

Synopsis

swift-init <server> [<server> ...] <command> [options]

Description

The swift-init tool can be used to initialize all swift daemons available as part of openstack-swift. Instead of calling individual init scripts for each swift daemon, one can just use swift-init. With swift-init you can initialize just one swift service, such as the "proxy", or a combination of them. The tool also allows one to use the keywords such as "all", "main" and "rest" for the <server> argument.

Servers:

proxy

- Initializes the swift proxy daemon

object, object-replicator, object-auditor, object-updater

- Initialize the swift object daemons above

container, container-update, container-replicator, container-auditor

- Initialize the swift container daemons above

account, account-auditor, account-reaper, account-replicator

- Initializes the swift account daemons above

all

- Initializes all the swift daemons

main
