Command Line Arguments

Willie's command line arguments are as follows:

• -h, --help
• Show the help message and exit
• -l, --list
• List all available config files
• -c filename, --config filename
• Use the given config file. Path is relative to ~/.willie, ~/.jenni or ~/.phenny by this order of priortiy, unless otherwise specified. If not given, default.cfg is assumed.
• -m, --migrate
• Migrate the current Willie configuration file from the old .py format to the new ConfigParser based .cfg format
• -d, --fork
• Run Willie in the background. Output will still be shown unless --quiet is used.
• -q, --quit
• Tell a running Willie to quit gracefully. (That is, send a QUIT message to the server before exiting.) This only affects the Willie instance with the same config file. i.e, the same --config will need to be specified here if it was specified when you started Willie.
• --quiet
• Suppress all terminal output
• -k, --kill
• Kill a running Willie in an un-clean fashion (ie, send SIGKILL to the process, no quit message will be send to the server). Like --quit, the same --config must be specified here as when it was started, if any. Should only be used if Willie does not respond to --quit
