Start the arbiter or a watcher

This command starts all the processes in a watcher or all watchers.

ZMQ Message

{
    "command": "start",
    "properties": {
        "name": '<name>",
        "waiting": False
    }
}

The response return the status “ok”.

If the property name is present, the watcher will be started.

If waiting is False (default), the call will return immediately after calling start on each process.

If waiting is True, the call will return only when the start process is completely ended. Because of the graceful_timeout option, it can take some time.

Command line

$ circusctl start [<name>] --waiting

Options

• <name>: name of the watcher
