NAME
anytun-controld - anycast tunneling control daemon

SYNOPSIS

anytun-controld
  [ -h|--help ]
  [ -D|--nodaemonize ]
  [ -u|--username <username> ]
  [ -g|--groupname <groupname> ]
  [ -C|--chroot <path> ]
  [ -P|--write-pid <filename> ]
  [ -L|--log <target>:<level>[,<param1>[,<param2>[..]]] ]
  [ -U|--debug ]
  [ -f|--file <path> ]
  [ -X|--control-host < <host>[:port>] | :<port> > ]

DESCRIPTION

anytun-controld configures the multi-connection support for Anytun. It reads a connection/routing table and outputs it via a tcp socket to all connected Anytun servers. When the control daemon is restarted with a new connection/routing table all Anytun servers automatically load the new configuration. Please make sure to protect that information as it contains the connection keys.

OPTIONS

-D, --nodaemonize
    This option instructs anytun-controld to run in foreground instead of becoming a daemon which is the default.

-u, --username <username>
    run as this user. If no group is specified (-g) the default group of the user is used. The default is to not drop privileges.

-g, --groupname <groupname>
    run as this group. If no username is specified (-u) this gets ignored. The default is to not drop privileges.

-C, --chroot <path>
    Instruct anytun-controld to run in a chroot jail. The default is to not run in chroot.

-P, --write-pid <filename>
    Instruct anytun-controld to write it’s pid to this file. The default is to not create a pid file.

-L, --log <target>:<level>[,<param1>[,<param2>[..]]]
    add log target to logging system. This can be invoked several times in order to log to different targets at the same time. Every target hast its own log level which is a number between 0 and 5. Where 0 means disabling log and 5 means debug messages are enabled. The file target can be used more the once with different levels. If no target is provided at the command line a single target with the config syslog:3,anytun-controld,daemon is added. The following targets are supported:

    syslog
        log to syslog daemon, parameters <level>[,<logname>[,<facility>]]

    file
        log to file, parameters <level>[,<path>]

    stdout
        log to standard output, parameters <level>

    stderr
        log to standard error, parameters <level>

-U, --debug
    This option instructs Anytun to run in debug mode. It implicits -D (don’t daemonize) and adds a log target with the configuration stdout:5 (logging with maximum level). In future releases there might be additional output when this option is supplied.

-f, --file <path>
    The path to the file which holds the sync information.

-X, --control-host <hostname|ip>[:<port>]
    fetch the config from this host. The default is not to use a control host and therefore this is empty. Mind that the port can be omitted in which case port 2323 is used. If you want to specify an ipv6 address and a port you have to use [ and ] to separate the address from the port, eg.: [::1]:1234. If you want to use the default port [ and ] can be omitted.

BUGS

Most likely there are some bugs in Anytun. If you find a bug, please let the developers know at satp@anytun.org. Of course, patches are preferred.
