.TH "PIUPARTS_SLAVE_RUN" "8" "Mar 23, 2024" "" "Piuparts"
.SH NAME
piuparts_slave_run \- start up piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen

.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fIpiuparts_slave_run\fP [\(aqSLAVE\-NUMBERS\(aq]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fIpiuparts_slave_run\fP runs piuparts\-slave instance(s) in \fIscreen\fP which run \fIpiuparts\fP tests which test whether Debian packages handle installation, upgrading, and removal correctly.
.sp
By default, \fIpiuparts_slave_run\fP will start the number of slaves specified by the \(aqslave\-count\(aq parameter in the piuparts.conf file. If \(aqslave\-count\(aq is not defined, a single slave will be started. If a single argument is supplied to \fIpiuparts_slave_run\fP, consisting of a space\-separated list of numbers between 1 and \(aqslave\-count\(aq, only those slaves will be started.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
There are no options to this command currently. Note however that \fIthis interface is under development\fP and may change.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.sp
Running piuparts in master\-slave mode requires configuration in \fI/etc/piuparts\fP\&.
.SH BUGS
.sp
\fIpiuparts_slave_run\fP should be able to run slaves in different ways:
1. all, in a new screen (only this is implemented at the moment)
2. a specific one, in a specified screen slot in a (running) screen
3. append one to a (running) screen using a \(dqrandom\(dq slot
4. start slave in the current directory in the current shell in foreground.
.SH NOTES
.sp
Make sure to also read \fI/usr/share/doc/piuparts\-master/README_server.txt\fP\&.
