DESCRIPTION
The comitup-cli utility provides access to the comitup(8) D-Bus interface. It is intended to serve as a
debug tool, and a source code example for connecting to the interface.
If the comitup(8) service is not running, comitup-cli will immediately exit.
Display:
• State
The comitup states are HOTSPOT, CONNECTING, and CONNECTED.
In the HOTSPOT mode, comitup creates a wifi hotspot with the name comitup-<nnn>, where <nnn> is a per‐
sistent number.
Once in HOTSPOT mode, the system will occasionally (~1/min) cycle through available defined connec‐
tions, by transitioning to the CONNECTING mode. The Access Point list is updated by this process. Any
command issued by comitup-cli will cause the next timeout instance to be skipped.
Once a connection is established, the system will be in the CONNECTED mode. If the connection is lost,
failed, or deleted, the system will transition back to the HOTSPOT state.
• Connection
The ssid of the current active connection.
• Points
While in the HOTSPOT mode, comitup-cli will list the currently-visible access points, by ssid. Access
points with the strongest signal are sorted to the top of the list. The entries are numbered, for use
with the connect command.
Commands:
• r - Reload
Refresh the displayed state, mode, and list of access points.
• q - Quit
Exit comitup.cli.
• d - Deleteconnection
Delete the configuration information for the current wifi connection. This will cause comitup to tran‐
sition to the HOTSPOT mode.
This command is not available in the HOTSPOT mode.
• <n> - Connecttoaccesspoint<n>
Define a connection for the selected access point, and then attempt to connect.
This command is only available in the HOTSPOT mode.
• m - Manualconnection
Enter an SSID manually.
• i - Getinformation
Return the comitup version and host name for the current instance.
