Controller
The appman-controller is a command-line utility that can be used by the developer, or indirectly by other tools, on the target device to control the application manager without communicating directly with its D-Bus interface.
Note: In order to use this tool, the application manager has to be connected to either a session- or system-bus; don't run it with --dbus none.
If you are running multiple application manager instances in the same system, you need to first assign unique instance-ids to each of them and then you can address them individually from the appman-controller tool by using the instance-id command line option.
The following commands are available:
| Command | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
start-application | <application-id>
| Starts the application with application-id within the application manager. |
debug-application | <debug-wrapper-specification>
| Starts the application with application-id within the application manager using a debug-wrapper. For more information, see DebugWrappers. |
stop-application | <application-id> | Stops the application with application-id. |
stop-all-applications | (none) | Stops all applications that are running within the application manager. |
list-applications | (none) | Outputs all available application IDs on the console, one per line. |
show-application | <application-id> | Shows the current metadata for the given application in YAML format. Alternatively, use --json to get the metadata in JSON format instead. |
list-packages | (none) | Outputs all available package IDs on the console, one per line. |
show-package | <package-id> | Shows the current metadata for the given package in YAML format. Alternatively, use --json to get the metadata in JSON format instead. |
install-package | <package> | Installs the package given on the command-line. If the package file is specified as -, the tool tries to read the package from stdin. The following options are supported:
|
remove-package | <package-id> | Removes the package, specified with package-id. The following options are supported:
|
list-installation-locations | (none) | Lists all installaton locations. |
show-installation-location | <installation-location> | Shows details for the specified installation-location in YAML format. Alternatively, use --json to get the location details in JSON format instead. |
The appman-controller naturally supports the standard Unix --help command-line option.
