Usage: twistd [options]
Options:
-b, --debug Run the application in the Python Debugger (implies nodaemon), sending
SIGUSR2 will drop into debugger
--chroot= Chroot to a supplied directory before running
-d, --rundir= Change to a supplied directory before running [default: .]
-e, --encrypted The specified tap/aos file is encrypted.
--euid Set only effective user-id rather than real user-id. (This option has no
effect unless the server is running as root, in which case it means not to
shed all privileges after binding ports, retaining the option to regain
privileges in cases such as spawning processes. Use with caution.)
-f, --file= read the given .tap file [default: twistd.tap]
-g, --gid= The gid to run as. If not specified, the default gid associated with the
specified --uid is used.
--help Display this help and exit.
--help-reactors Display a list of possibly available reactor names.
-l, --logfile= log to a specified file, - for stdout
--logger= A fully-qualified name to a log observer factory to use for the initial log
observer. Takes precedence over --logfile and --syslog (when available).
-n, --nodaemon don't daemonize, don't use default umask of 0077
-o, --no_save do not save state on shutdown
--originalname Don't try to change the process name
-p, --profile= Run in profile mode, dumping results to specified file.
--pidfile= Name of the pidfile [default: twistd.pid]
--prefix= use the given prefix when syslogging [default: twisted]
--profiler= Name of the profiler to use (profile, cprofile). [default: cprofile]
-r, --reactor= Which reactor to use (see --help-reactors for a list of possibilities)
-s, --source= Read an application from a .tas file (AOT format).
--savestats save the Stats object rather than the text output of the profiler.
--spew Print an insanely verbose log of everything that happens. Useful when
debugging freezes or locks in complex code.
--syslog Log to syslog, not to file
-u, --uid= The uid to run as.
--umask= The (octal) file creation mask to apply.
--version Print version information and exit.
-y, --python= read an application from within a Python file (implies -o)
twistd reads a twisted.application.service.Application out of a file and runs it.
