Shutdown¶

Shutdown the remote running core (amule/amuled). This will also shut down the text client, since it is unusable without a running core.

Statistics [ <number> ]¶

Show statistics tree.

The optional <number> in the range of 0-255 can be passed as argument to this command, which tells how many entries of the client version subtree should be shown. Passing 0, or omitting it means `unlimited'.

Example: `statistics 5' will show only the top 5 versions for each client type.

Status¶

Show connection status, current up/download speeds, etc.

Paths¶

For all options which take a <path> value, if the path contains no directory part (i.e. just a plain filename), then it is considered to be under the aMule configuration directory, ~/.aMule.

Languages¶

The <lang> parameter for the -l option has the following form: lang[_LANG][.encoding][@modifier] where lang is the primary language, LANG is a sublanguage/territory, encoding is the character set to use and modifier allows the user to select a specific instance of localization data within a single category.

For example, the following strings are valid:

Though all the above strings are accepted as valid language definitions, encoding and modifier are yet unused.

In addition to the format above, you can also specify full language names in English - so -l german is also valid and is equal to -l de_DE.

When no locale is defined, either on command-line or in config file, system default language will be used.
