DESCRIPTION

S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the Supervisor of Perplexing Event-handling Contraptions for Triggering Relentless Executions. It triggers WebGUI's workflow and scheduling functions.

Spectre's configuration file, spectre.conf, is located under the WebGUI filesystem hierarchy.

--daemon
Starts the Spectre server forking as a background daemon. This can be done by hand, but it is usually handled by a startup script.
--run
Starts Spectre in the foreground without forking as a daemon.
--debug
If this option is specified at startup either in --daemon or --run mode, Spectre will provide verbose debug to standard output so that you can see exactly what it's doing.
--shutdown
Stops the running Spectre server.
--ping
Pings Spectre to see if it is alive. If Spectre is alive, you'll get confirmation with a message like
     Spectre is alive!
 
 

If Spectre doesn't seem to be alive, you'll get a message like

     Spectre is not responding.
     Unable to connect to <IP-address>:<Port>
 
 

where IP-address is the IP address and Port is the port number where Spectre should be listening for connections on according to spectre.conf.

--start
Alias for --daemon.
--status
Shows a summary of Spectre's internal status. The summary contains a tally of suspended, waiting and running WebGUI Workflows.
--stop
Alias for --shutdown.
--test
Tests whether Spectre can connect to WebGUI. Both Spectre and the Apache server running WebGUI must be running for this option to work. It will test the connection between every site and Spectre, by looking for configuration files in WebGUI's configuration directory, showing success or failure in each case.
--help
Shows this documentation, then exits.
