NAME
       estmaster - master process of node servers


SYNOPSIS
       estmaster init [-ex] rootdir

       estmaster start [-bg] [-ro] [-st] rootdir

       estmaster stop rootdir

       estmaster unittest rootdir

       estmaster crypt key [hash]


DESCRIPTION
       estmaster is an aggregation of sub commands.  The name of a sub command
       is specified by the first argument.  Other arguments are parsed
       according to each sub command.  The argument rootdir specifies the
       server root directory which contains configuration file and so on.

       estmaster init [-ex] rootdir
              Create the server root directory.
              If -ex is specified, some users and some nodes are set for
              example.  By default, only a super user whose name and password
              are both "admin" is set.

       estmaster start [-bg] [-ro] [-st] rootdir
              Start the node master.
              If -bg is specified, the server runs in background as a daemon
              process.
              If -ro is specified, the server runs in read-only mode
              regardless of the configuration.
              If -st is specified, the server runs in single thread mode.

       estmaster stop rootdir
              Stop the running node master.

       estmaster unittest rootdir
              Perform unit tests.

       estmaster crypt key [hash]
              Output an encrypted string of a string.
              key specifies a target string.
              If hash is specified, it checks whether the key and the hash
              matches.

       All sub commands return 0 if the operation is success, else return 1.
       A running node master finishes with closing the database when it
       catches the signal 1 (SIGHUP), 2 (SIGINT), 3 (SIGQUIT), or 15
       (SIGTERM).  Moreover, when a node master running as a daemon catches
       the signal 1 (SIGHUP), the process is re-start and re-read the
       configuration files.

       A running node server should be finished by valid means by command line
       or via network.  Otherwise, the index may be broken.
