-c, --config=DIR
Read configuration options from DIR.
-g, --generate-key=path
Generates a single RSA key-pair. The public key will be stored in path while the private key will be
stored in path.privkey. Neither file must be non-empty for this to succeed.
The public key file path is normally copied to pubkey/nodename in the config directory on all nodes,
while the private key path.privkey should be copied to the file hostkey on the node the key is for.
It's recommended to generate the keypair on the node where it will be used, so that the private key
file does not have to travel over the network.
-G, --generate-keys
Generate public/private RSA key-pairs for all nodes not having a key and exit.
Note that in normal configurations this will fail, as there cna only be one private key per host. To
make this configuration work you need to specify separate keyfiles for hostkeys in your config file,
e.g.:
private-key = hostkeys/%s
Such a configuration makes it easier to distribute a configuration centrally but requires private
keys to be transported securely over the network.
-q, --quiet
Suppresses messages the author finds nonessential for scripting purposes.
--help
Display short list of options.
--kill[=SIGNAL]
Attempt to kill a running gvpectrl (optionally with the specified SIGNAL instead of SIGTERM) and
exit.
--show-config
Show a summary of the configuration, and how gvpe interprets it. Can also be very useful when
designing firewall scripts.
--version
Output version information and exit.
