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
       currently running Wackamole instance to perform an  action  or  display
       state information.

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  in-
	      terfaces	and  running  whatever dynamic calls have been config-
	      ured.  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 in-
	      stance to	stop simulating	failure.  The local instance will  re-
	      connect  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
       error.

BUGS
       No known	bugs.
