piuparts_slave_run - start up piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen
Contents
Bugs
piuparts_slave_run should be able to run slaves in different ways: 1. all, in a new screen (only this is
implemented at the moment) 2. a specific one, in a specified screen slot in a (running) screen 3. append
one to a (running) screen using a "random" slot 4. start slave in the current directory in the current
shell in foreground.
Description
piuparts_slave_run runs piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen which run piuparts tests which test whether
Debian packages handle installation, upgrading, and removal correctly.
By default, piuparts_slave_run will start the number of slaves specified by the 'slave-count' parameter
in the piuparts.conf file. If 'slave-count' is not defined, a single slave will be started. If a single
argument is supplied to piuparts_slave_run, consisting of a space-separated list of numbers between 1 and
'slave-count', only those slaves will be started.
Environment
Running piuparts in master-slave mode requires configuration in /etc/piuparts.
