controls various aspects of the operation of the

program.
.SH OPTIONS
Options available:
.TP
\fB\-c /path/to/socket\fR
The path to the (Unix-domain) socket
.B Pound
was configured to listen on for control. Your
.B Pound
configuration file must contain the directive
.I Control "/path/to/socket"
for

to work.
.TP

Enable/disable a listener. A disabled listener will stop accepting connection
requests.

\fB\-S/-s n m\fR
Enable/disable a service. A disabled service will not be used by
.B Pound
to answer requests.
.TP
\fB\-B/-b n m r\fR
Enable/disable a back-end. A disabled back-end will not be passed requests to
answer. Note however that existing sessions may still cause requests to be
sent their way.
.TP
\fB\-N n m k r\fR
Add a session to service m in listener n. The session key is k and it points to
back-end r.
.TP
\fB\-n n m k\fR
Remove a session from service m in listener n. The session key is k.
.PP
The parameters n, m and r refer to the number assigned to a particular listener,
service and back-end in the listings. A listener number of -1 refers by convention
to the global context.
.TP
\fB\-H\fR
Try to resolve the addresses to symbolic names. Depending on your configuration,
this may require an active DNS.
.TP
\fB\-X\fR
Show the results in XML format.
.PP
When called without flags
.B poundctl
will print out a listing of the
.B Pound
internal state.
