NAME
       cherokee-tweak - Command-line interface to the administration interface
       of Cherokee

SYNOPSIS
       cherokee-tweak [options] URL info

       cherokee-tweak [options] URL sources

       cherokee-tweak [options] URL kill-source ID

       cherokee-tweak [options] URL logrotate   PATH

       cherokee-tweak [options] URL trace       TRACE

DESCRIPTION
       cherokee-tweak connects to a running cherokee instance, either local or
       remote, and requests it to perform one of several actions.

COMMANDS
       info    Prints info about the server status

       sources Prints a list of the information sources

       kill-source
               Kill a remote information source, specified by its reported ID

       logrotate
               Rotates  a local (*and only local*) log file specified by PATH.

       trace   Manipulates the tracing mechanism. TRACE should be  the  string
               that specifies the modules to be traced, and Cherokee must have
               been compiled with the --enable-trace option for this to  work.
               Everything  traceable  with  CHEROKEE_TRACE  can also be traced
               this way.

PARAMETERS
       URL     Required before any command. This is the URL where the adminis-
               tration  interface  can  be found.  This target must be defined
               previously in herokee-admin enabling a "Remote  Administration"
               type  handler  (Virtual  Servers->Behaviour->Add  new rule, and
               then Handler->"Remote Administration"). The  deffinition  of  a
               security mechanism is highly encouraged.

       -h, --help
               Shows brief usage information

       -V, --version
               Prints version and exits
