piuparts_slave_run8

Usage

Overview

piuparts_slave_run runs piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen which run piuparts tests which test whether Debian packages handle installation, upgrading, and removal correctly.

By default, piuparts_slave_run will start the number of slaves specified by the 'slave-count' parameter in the piuparts.conf file. If 'slave-count' is not defined, a single slave will be started. If a single argument is supplied to piuparts_slave_run, consisting of a space-separated list of numbers between 1 and 'slave-count', only those slaves will be started.
