POUNDCTL(8)		    System Manager's Manual		   POUNDCTL(8)

NAME
       poundctl - control the pound(8) daemon

SYNOPSIS
       poundctl -c /path/to/socket [-L/-l] [-S/-s] [-B/-b] [-N/-n] [-H] [-X]

DESCRIPTION
       Poundctl controls various aspects of the operation of the pound(8) pro‐
       gram.

OPTIONS
       Options available:

       -c /path/to/socket
	      The path to the (Unix-domain) socket  Pound  was	configured  to
	      listen  on  for control. Your Pound configuration file must con‐
	      tain the directive Control /path/to/socket for poundctl to work.

       -L/-l n
	      Enable/disable a listener. A disabled listener will stop accept‐
	      ing connection requests.

       -S/-s n m
	      Enable/disable a service. A disabled service will not be used by
	      Pound to answer requests.

       -B/-b n m r
	      Enable/disable a back-end.  A  disabled  back-end	 will  not  be
	      passed  requests	to answer. Note however that existing sessions
	      may still cause requests to be sent their way.

       -N n m k r
	      Add a session to service m in listener n. The session key	 is  k
	      and it points to back-end r.

       -n n m k
	      Remove  a	 session from service m in listener n. The session key
	      is k.

       The parameters n, m and r refer to the number assigned to a  particular
       listener, service and back-end in the listings. A listener number of -1
       refers by convention to the global context.

       -H     Try to resolve the addresses to  symbolic	 names.	 Depending  on
	      your configuration, this may require an active DNS.

       -X     Show the results in XML format.

       When  called  without  flags  poundctl  will print out a listing of the
       Pound internal state.
