Command line arguments

pct -nid {node-ID} -pid {portal-ID}
    -D -S {0|1} -L {0|1}
    -daemon

-nid {node-ID} -pid {portal-ID}

The PCT normally registers with the bebopd managing the virtual machine. (It is identified in the cplant-host file.) If an alternative bebopd is running for test purposes in addition to the regular bebopd, and you wish this PCT to register with the alternative bebopd, then provide the node number and portal ID of that bebopd with these arguments.

-D

This option causes the PCT to output information about what it is doing. Repeating the -D option on the command line increases the amount of information. Normally the information goes to the log file (/var/log/cplant) on the compute node. This can be changed with the -S and -L options.

-S {0 or 1}

The PCT outputs warnings and errors, and, if the -D option is used, status information. The 0 switch turns off all output from the PCT to stderr. The 1 switch turns it on. By default, the PCT does not write to stderr.

-L {0 or 1}

The PCT outputs warnings and errors, and, if the -D option is used, status information. The 0 switch turns off all output from the PCT to the log file. The 1 switch turns it on. By default, the PCT does write to log file.

-daemon

The PCT by default runs as a foreground process, which is useful for debugging. To run the PCT as a background process, use the -d option.
