NAME

       chef-server - Start the Chef Server merb application slice.

SYNOPSIS

       chef-server [uGdcIpPhmailLerkKX] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       The Chef Server is a Merb application slice. Both chef-server and chef-
       server-slice packages should be installed. This man page was  generated
       for  merb  and  generated  for chef-server.  The default listen port is
       4000. At a minimum, chef-server should  be  started  with  -c2  so  one
       process  starts  for the webui (4000) and one process starts for openid
       (4001).

       -u, --user USER
              This flag is for having chef-server run as a user other than the
              one  currently  logged  in.  Note: if you set this you must also
              provide a --group option for it to take effect.

       -G, --group GROUP
              This flag is for having chef-server run as a  group  other  than
              the one currently logged in. Note: if you set this you must also
              provide a --user option for it to take effect.

       -d, --daemonize
              This will run a single chef-server in the background.

       -N, --no-daemonize
              This will allow you to run a cluster in console mode

       -c, --cluster-nodes NUM_MERBS
              Number of merb daemons to run for chef-server. At  least  2  are
              required to run, the second is for openid (runs on port 4001).

       -I, --init-file FILE
              File   to   use   for   initialization   on  load,  defaults  to
              config/init.rb

       -p, --port PORTNUM
              Port to run chef-server on, defaults to 4000.  Additional  nodes
              (-c) listen on incrementing port numbers.

       -o, --socket-file FILE
              Socket    file    to    run    chef-server   on,   defaults   to
              [Merb.root]/log/merb.sock. This is for web servers,  like  thin,
              that use sockets.Specify this *only* if you *must*.

       -n, --name NAME

       -P, --pid PIDFILE
              PID file,  defaults  to  [Merb.root]/log/merb.main.pid  for  the
              master  process  and[Merb.root]/log/merb.[port  number].pid  for
              worker processes. For clusters, use %s to specify where  in  the
              file  chef-server should place the port number. For instance: -P
              myapp.%s.pid

       -h, --host HOSTNAME
