NSCTL(8)
NAME
nsctl - manage running l2tpns instance
SYNOPSIS
nsctl [-d] [-h host[:port]] [-t timeout] command [arg ...]
DESCRIPTION
nsctl sends commands to a running l2tpns process. It provides both for
the loading or unloading of plugins and also the management of sessions
via functions provided by those plugins.
OPTIONS
-d Enable debugging output.
- -h host[:port]
- The host running l2tpns that should receive the message. By default the message is sent to UDP port 1702 on localhost.
- -t timeout
- Timeout in seconds to wait for a response from the server.
COMMANDS
The first argument specifies the command to send to l2tpns . The following commands are as defined:
- load_plugin plugin
- Load the named plugin.
- unload_plugin plugin
- Unload the named plugin.
- help Each loaded plugin is queried for what commands it supports and
- the synopsis for each is output.
- Any other value of command (and args if any) are sent to l2tpns as-is, to be passed to each plugin which registers a plugin_control function in turn (in which it may be acted upon).
