pioneers-metaserver(6) Games Manual pioneers-metaserver(6) NAME pioneers-metaserver - metaserver for Pioneers SYNOPSIS pioneers-metaserver [options] DESCRIPTION Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game. It uses a client/server model for networked play. This program provides a piece of network infrastructure that helps match pio- neers clients to pioneers servers. Casual players of pioneers probably do not need to run this program. OPTIONS -?, --help Print a short help text and exit. -d, --daemon Run in daemon mode. -P, --pidfile pidfile Write the pid to pidfile (implies -d) -r, --redirect location Redirect to another metaserver running at location. -s, --servername hostname Use hostname as hostname when creating servers. -p, --port-range from-to Use ports in the range from-to (inclusive) to start servers. When this range is not specified, the metaserver will not be able to cre- ate new games. --debug Enable debug messages. --syslog-debug Duplicate the messages of the syslog to the console. --version Show version information. ENVIRONMENT The default settings of the metaserver can be influenced with the following three environment variables: PIONEERS_METASERVER The hostname the metaserver will use when creating new games. This should be a hostname that can be resolved by all clients that will connect. PIONEERS_SERVER_CONSOLE The path (including the filename) to pioneers-server-console. If it contains only a filename and no path or if it is not set, the PATH variable in the environment is used to locate the program. PIONEERS_DIR The path to the game definition files. If it is not set, the de- fault installation path will be used. FILES /usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game Game definitions SIGNALS SIGINT Shutdown the metaserver gracefully (can also be used to check for memory leaks) AUTHOR This manual page was written by Jeff Breidenbach <jab@debian.org>, and up- dated by Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> and Bas Wijnen <shevek@fmf.nl>.
