p4dctl is a tool that helps admins to manage multiple Perforce servers. This
tool is used by the Perforce Linux packages to help manage servers.

#6 8326 Tony Smith Some significant updates to p4dctl.

1. Support for interacting with SSL enabled servers
2. New command 'list' to list configured servers

      p4dctl [ options ] list [ -t type ] -a
             p4dctl [ options ] list [ -t type ] servername

3. New command 'env' to allow you to fetch arbitrary
   settings from a configured server in a form suitable for use
   with 'eval'.

    p4dctl [ options ] env [ -t type ] -a var [ var...  ]
    p4dctl [ options ] env [ -t type ] servername var [ var...  ]

4. Supply a new manpage for p4dctl
#5 8094 Tony Smith Linux 26x86_64 binary p4dctl with latest changes.
Built with
2012.1 API.
#4 8093 Tony Smith Make p4dctl support including configuration files from
a specified path. This change allows it to support including from
both files and directories.

e.g.

    include /path/to/file.conf
    include /path/to/dir

A common use of this might be something like:

    include /etc/p4d.d
#3 7177 Tony Smith Update p4dctl to build with 2008.2 API.
No major changes needed,
mostly jam stuff. The big change is to include all the rules from
the sample Jamrules included in the Perforce API since that's the
Jamrules used to build the API. This ensures that we're using the
right compiler/linker flags on every platform.

I also made sure that when lex & yacc are installed, and the
grammar is compiled as part of the build, that the source tree
is updated with the pre-compiled grammar. Makes it easy to
maintain.

Lastly, I updated the binary while I was there.
#2 6151 Tony Smith Update build rules for 2007.2/2007.3 API filesystem structure.

No functional change
#1 5945 Tony Smith Release p4dctl, a program for starting/stopping Perforce services
on Unix operating systems. Similar to, and developed in concert
with, Sven Erik Knop's p4dcfg.

For example:

    p4dctl start -a

Can start multiple P4D, P4P, P4Web, or P4FTP servers in one easy
command line. It can be executed by root, or by the 'owners' of
the configured services and it maintains pidfiles no matter who
uses it (so they remain accurate).

An init script using p4dctl will typically just use:

    p4dctl start -a
    p4dctl stop -a
    p4dctl restart -a

And check the exit status.
