NAME
       tirex-send - send messages to a tirex daemon

SYNOPSIS
       tirex-send [OPTIONS] TYPE [KEY=VALUE ...]

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
               Display help message.

       -d, --debug
               Run in debug mode. You’ll see the actual messages sent and
               received.

       -c, --config=DIR
               Use the config directory DIR instead of /etc/tirex.

       -t, --to=DESTINATION
               Talk to DESTINATION, which can be ’master’ (default), ’syncd’,
               or a port number.

       -w, --wait=SECONDS
               Wait SECONDS for the answer after sending the message. Default
               is 5 seconds.  If set to 0, don’t wait for an answer at all.
               This is the default when the destination is set to syncd.

DESCRIPTION
       tirex-send sends a message through a UDP socket to a tirex daemon
       running on the local machine and waits for the answer. It can be used
       to check whether a daemon is running, activate debugging in the daemon,
       send a render request, etc.

       Messages are normally sent to the tirex-master daemon, but can also be
       sent to a sync daemon or one of the rendering backends.

       You have to give the TYPE of the message on the command line and
       optionally some fields in the format KEY=VALUE.

MESSAGES FOR MASTER
       The following messages can be send to a master daemon:

       ping    Check whether server is alive.

       debug   Activate debugging in the daemon.

       nodebug Deactivate debugging in the daemon.

       quit    Quit server now (unclean!).

       shutdown
               Clean shutdown (no yet implemented XXX)

       reload_config
               Reload renderer and map config.

       reset_max_queue_size
               Reset max queue size indicator in shared memory.

       stop_rendering_bucket
               Stop feeding jobs from a bucket to the renderer. Currently
               rendering jobs are unaffected.  Give the name of the bucket as
               "bucket=NAME".

       continue_rendering_bucket
               Continue rendering jobs from this bucket.  Give the name of the
               bucket as "bucket=NAME".

MESSAGES TO BACKENDS
       The following messages can be send to a rendering backend:

       metatile_render_request
               Renders the metatile requested.

FILES
       /etc/tirex/tirex.conf
               The configuration file.

DIAGNOSTICS
       tirex-send returns

       0 if the message was answered with ’ok’,
       1 if the message was answered with an error,
       2 if the error was ’unknown_message_type’,
       3 if the message could not be sent or if there was a timeout waiting
       for the answer,
       4 if there was an error parsing the command line.
