wickedd - Man Page

wickedd [options]

wickedd provides a service for managing network interfaces. It monitors the system's interfaces by retrieving relevant information from the kernel via netlink, sysfs and other interfaces.

It can be accessed via a DBus service, which can be used to reconfigure interfaces, bring them up or take them down.

Additionally to the main wickedd daemon, wicked framework provides several helper daemons and supplicants:

Further, it communicates also with external supplicants:

--help

Show available options and exit.

--version

Show name and version.

--config filename

By default, the daemon reads its configuration from /etc/wicked/server.xml. The --config options allows you to specify a different configuration file.

--debug facility

Enable debugging for facility. By specifying most as the debug facility, most useful debug options will be enabled. You can also specify several facilities, separated by commas. Prepending a minus will turn off the specified facility. For instance, to enable all debugging facilities except reporting of events, use "all,-events".

The list of available facilities can be obtained using "--debug help".

--log-level level

Set log level to one of <error|warning|notice|info|debug>.

--log-target target

Set log target to one of <stderr|syslog>, optionally followed by a colon and target specific details.

stderr[:options] with the following options: pid include program pid in each message

syslog[:facility[:options]] with following facilities: user, daemon, local0 .. local7 and options: perror log the message to stderr as well

--foreground

Tell the daemon to not background itself at startup.

--recover

By default, wickedd does not read previously saved state when starting. With this options set, wickedd will load any saved state and recover valid address configuration.

--systemd

Forces wickedd to use the syslog target for logging. This also forces wickedd to not report any transient return codes.

/etc/wicked/server.xml

specifies the global configuration of the daemon. This file may pull in additional configuration data from the same directory.

/run/wicked/wicked.pid

Location of the PID file written by the daemon when backgrounding itself. The pid directory be changed in the configuration file.
