cpuplugd command-line syntax

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

You can start cpuplugd through a command interface.

Before you begin: Do not run multiple instances of cpuplugd simultaneously. Check the cpuplugd status through the service utility before you issue the cpuplugd command.

Where:

-c or --config <config_file>: specifies the path to the configuration file with the rule (see Configuration file structure). You can find a commented sample configuration file at /etc/cpuplugd.conf.
Note: For kernels earlier than version 4.5, the sample configuration file was at /etc/sysconfig/cpuplugd
-f or --foreground: runs cpuplugd in the foreground and not as a daemon. If this option is omitted, cpuplugd runs as a daemon in the background.
-V or --verbose: displays verbose messages to stdout when cpuplugd is running in the foreground or to syslog when cpuplugd is running as a daemon in the background. This option can be useful for debugging.
-h or --help: displays help information for the command. To view the command man page, enter man cpuplugd. To view the man page for the configuration file, enter man cpuplugd.conf.
-v or --version: displays version information for cpuplugd.
