pcontrol(1)pcontrol(1)NAMEpcontrol - Send commands to running pproxy or pserv
SYNOPSISpcontrol [-c CMD, --command=CMD] [-s FILE, --socket=FILE] [-p PRG,
--program=PRG] [-q, --quiet] [-v, --verbose] [-i, --ignore-errors]
[--help] [--version] FILE...
DESCRIPTION
With pcontrol commands can be send to the running pproxy or pserv
server. If no files are given on the command line and the --command
option is not used, commands are read interactively from the terminal.
If GNU readline support is compiled in, it will be used.
If one or more filenames are given on the command line, these files are
read in order and all lines are send to the server. Lines beginning
with '#' are ignored. '-' can be used to read from STDIN.
If the --command option is used, the command after --command is send to
the server.
If neither the --program nor the --socket option is given, the program
will look for the socket of a running pproxy and if that is not found
for the socket of a running pserv.
Start the program in interactive mode and type '/h' for more informa‐
tion about possible commands, parameters and return codes.

used together with --program.
