NAME
nsctl - manage running l2tpns instance
SYNOPSIS
nsctl [-d] [-h host[:port]] [-t timeout] command [arg ...]
DESCRIPTION
nsctl sends commands to a running l2tpns process. It provides both for
the loading or unloading of plugins and also the management of sessions
via functions provided by those plugins.
OPTIONS
-d Enable debugging output.
-h host[:port]
The host running l2tpns that should receive the message. By
default the message is sent to UDP port 1702 on localhost.
-t timeout
Timeout in seconds to wait for a response from the server.
COMMANDS
The first argument specifies the command to send to l2tpns . The
following commands are as defined:
load_plugin plugin
Load the named plugin.
unload_plugin plugin
Unload the named plugin.
help Each loaded plugin is queried for what commands it supports and
the synopsis for each is output.
Any other value of command (and args if any) are sent to l2tpns as-is,
to be passed to each plugin which registers a plugin_control function
in turn (in which it may be acted upon).
