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
               administration 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
