1 .TH LOCTRKD 1 2022-05-27 "LOCTRKD GPS Tracker Service" "User Commands"
5 loctrkd \- utility to send control messages to the GPS tracker terminal
9 loctrkd [-c /path/to/config/file] [-d]
13 Command line tool to send "unsolicited reply" messages to the tracker.
14 There are messages to configure settings in the terminal, or to request
15 actions, such as to start a monitoring call, or to power off.
21 Set "debug" level of logging
25 Location of the configuration file (default /etc/loctrkd.conf)
29 After the options, IMEI (16 decimal characters) and the command verb
30 must be specified, optionally followed by a list of
32 pairs. The command verb is a case insensitive abbreviation that
33 uniquely identifies a class from the file loctrkd/loctrkdproto.py.
34 These classes correspond to message types recognized by the terminal.
35 Only a few of them are useful to construct "unsolicited replies".
37 pairs must specify kwargs for the constructor of the "Out" subclass
42 The command sends the message to the "collector" daemon for sending
43 to the terminal. There is no guarantee that the terminal is online
44 at the moment of execution, and there is no feedback. The only way
45 to verify that the command was successfully sent is to check the log
