NAME
       estmaster - master process of node servers


SYNOPSIS
       estmaster init [-ex] rootdir

       estmaster start [-bg] [-ro] [-st] rootdir

       estmaster stop rootdir

       estmaster unittest rootdir

       estmaster crypt key [hash]


DESCRIPTION
       estmaster  is  an  aggregation of sub commands.  The name of a sub command is specified by
       the first argument.  Other arguments are parsed according to each sub command.  The  argu‐
       ment  rootdir specifies the server root directory which contains configuration file and so
       on.

       estmaster init [-ex] rootdir
              Create the server root directory.
              If -ex is specified, some users and some nodes are set for  example.   By  default,
              only a super user whose name and password are both "admin" is set.

       estmaster start [-bg] [-ro] [-st] rootdir
              Start the node master.
              If -bg is specified, the server runs in background as a daemon process.
              If -ro is specified, the server runs in read-only mode regardless of the configura‐
              tion.
              If -st is specified, the server runs in single thread mode.

       estmaster stop rootdir
              Stop the running node master.

       estmaster unittest rootdir
              Perform unit tests.

       estmaster crypt key [hash]
              Output an encrypted string of a string.
              key specifies a target string.
              If hash is specified, it checks whether the key and the hash matches.

       All sub commands return 0 if the operation is success, else return 1.  A running node mas‐
       ter  finishes with closing the database when it catches the signal 1 (SIGHUP), 2 (SIGINT),
       3 (SIGQUIT), or 15 (SIGTERM).  Moreover, when a node master running as  a  daemon  catches
       the signal 1 (SIGHUP), the process is re-start and re-read the configuration files.

       A  running  node  server should be finished by valid means by command line or via network.
       Otherwise, the index may be broken.
