NAME
     wackatrl - IP-failover high-availability controller

SYNOPSIS
     wackatrl [-c config_file ] [ -l | -f | -s ]

DESCRIPTION
     wackatrl runs the wackatrl IP-failover HA controller and instructs the cur-
     rently running Wackamole instance to perform an action or display state in-
     formation.

OPTIONS
     -c config-file
	    Use  an  alternate	configuration  file config-file instead of wack-
	    amole.conf.

     -l     Lists the current state (ownership) of virtual interfaces.

     -f     Simulate a failure.  The local instance will disconnect from  Spread
	    and  act  as if it has failed by dropping its managed interfaces and
	    running whatever dynamic calls have been configured.  A peer, should
	    one exist, will assume the responsibility for  the	interfaces  that
	    were dropped.

     -s     Recover from a simulated failure.  This will tell the local instance
	    to	stop  simulating  failure.  The local instance will reconnect to
	    Spread and once again participate in the peer-based HA environment.

FILES
     wackamole.conf
	    The default config file location is dependant on the install prefix.
	    ./wackamole.conf is also searched if a local file is not found.

DIAGNOSTICS
     All error messages, should any be produced will be written to standard  er-
     ror.

BUGS
     No known bugs.
