NAME

       piuparts_slave_run - start up piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen

SYNOPSIS

       piuparts_slave_run ['SLAVE-NUMBERS']

DESCRIPTION

       piuparts_slave_run  runs piuparts-slave instance(s) in screen which run piuparts tests which test whether
       Debian packages handle installation, upgrading, and removal correctly.

       By default, piuparts_slave_run will start the number of slaves specified by the  'slave-count'  parameter
       in  the  piuparts.conf file. If 'slave-count' is not defined, a single slave will be started. If a single
       argument is supplied to piuparts_slave_run, consisting of a space-separated list of numbers between 1 and
       'slave-count', only those slaves will be started.

OPTIONS

       There are no options to this command currently. Note however that this interface is under development and
       may change.

ENVIRONMENT

       Running piuparts in master-slave mode requires configuration in /etc/piuparts.

BUGS

       piuparts_slave_run should be able to run slaves in different ways: 1. all, in a new screen (only this  is
       implemented  at the moment) 2. a specific one, in a specified screen slot in a (running) screen 3. append
       one to a (running) screen using a "random" slot 4. start slave in the current directory  in  the  current
       shell in foreground.

NOTES

       Make sure to also read /usr/share/doc/piuparts-master/README_server.txt.
