It sends user commands to the daemon by writing them into a shared file and signalling the daemon; it watches the daemon's log to obtain the results of the commands. The following commands are supported: .TP 20 help display a list of commands .TP input trace on|off turn tracing of input packets on or off .TP output trace on|off turn tracing of output packets on or off .TP trace on|off turn all packet tracing on or off .TP times display server parent and children process times .TP uptime display daemon up time .TP exit force daemon to shut down and exit .SH FILES .TP 20 /tftpd/lock lock file containing daemon's PID .TP /tftpd/command command file to daemon .TP /tftpd/slog daemon's log file .SH "SEE ALSO" tftpd (8) .SH BUGS Two tcom's running at the same time will result in chaos. Also, watching the daemon's log file uses a lot of CPU time.
