tracker-status(1) User Commands tracker-status(1)NAMEtracker-status - Report the state of all data miners
SYNOPSIStracker-status [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTIONtracker-status shows the status of all miners and the store which min‐
ers push information into. To do this, you can run tracker-status with
no command line arguments. For tracker-store, the status is always Idle
unless it is replaying a journal (regardless of load from applications
or miners). For a list of common statuses, see --list-common-statuses.
The miners can be paused or resumed using this command and you can list
miners running and available.
To start or stop miners, you need to use tracker-control. The store is
started automatically by the D-Bus calls from the miners.
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
-f, --follow
Follow status changes as they happen. This requires Ctrl+C to
stop and return to the command line. Each new status is put on a
new line. To get more information, you can use --detailed with
this.
-d, --detailed
For the most part, this purely provides a timestamp with each
status update to follow WHEN changes happened.
-s, --list-common-statuses
This will list statuses most commonly produced by miners and the
store. These statuses are not translated when sent over D-Bus
and should be translated by each application. These are not con‐
sidered static and are subject to change at any point.
Additionally, these statuses are not the only ones which may be
reported by a miner. There may be other states pertaining to the
specific roles of the miner in question.
-l, --list-miners-running
This will list all miners which have responded to a D-Bus call.
Sometimes it is helpfult to use this command with --list-miners-
available.
-a, --list-miners-available
This will list all miners which are available even if they are
not running at the moment.
-i, --pause-details
For listing all miners which are paused and the reasons for
being paused, you can use this. It will also display the appli‐
cation that requested the pause too.
-m, --miner=MINER
This argument is used with --pause and --resume to say which
miner you want to pause or resume. You can use the full D-Bus
name, e.g. org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Files OR you can use
the suffix, e.g. Files
-p, --pause=REASON
The REASON here is useful to know WHY the miner should be
paused. A miner can be paused many times by multiple applica‐
tions. Only when all pauses have been resumed will it continue.
If successful, a cookie will be given to uniquely identify the
request. This cookie is used to resume the pause at a later
stage.
-r, --resume=COOKIE
The COOKIE is given by a successful --pause command. It is a
number which identifies each pause request. When all pauses have
been resumed, the miner will resume working.
-V, --version
Print version.
