- Send a command to a specific sender. The following commands are
- available, but not all senders support every command.
+ This command executes a subcommand for the given sender, which is
+ one of "http", "dccp" or "udp". Various subcommands exist to print
+ information about the sender, to activate and deactivate the sender,
+ and to change the access permissions and targets. The following
+ subcommands are available:
- help, on, off, add, delete, allow, deny, status.
+ help, status, on, off, allow, deny, add, delete.
- The help command prints the help text of the given sender. If no
- command is given the list of available senders is shown.
+ All senders support the first four commands. The "allow" and "deny"
+ commands are supported by the http and the dccp senders while "add"
+ and "delete" are only supported by the udp sender. If no sender is
+ given, the list of available senders is shown.
- Example:
+ Examples:
+
+ Get help for the udp sender (contains further examples):
+
+ sender udp help
+
+ Show the access control list and the number of connected clients of
+ the http sender:
+
+ sender http status
+
+ Senders may be activated and deactivated independently of each
+ other. The following command switches off the dccp sender:
+
+ sender dccp off
+
+ Add an UDP unicast for a client to the target list of the UDP sender:
+
+ sender udp add client.foo.org
+
+ Start UDP multicast, using the default multicast address:
- para_client sender http help
+ sender udp add 224.0.1.38
