Desks, apps and updates

+agents

Print out the status of Gall agents on a desk.

Agents may either be archived or running. Nuked or unstarted agents which are not on the manifest are omitted.

Arguments

desk

Example

> +agents %garden
status: running   %hark-system-hook
status: running   %treaty
status: running   %docket
status: running   %settings-store
status: running   %hark-store

|bump

Try to apply a kernel update.

If %zuse's kelvin version has decreased, try to apply the update. If any desks are incompatible with the new %zuse version, the update will fail. The update can be forced with the optional force argument, in which case incompatible desks will be |suspended. The set of desks to omit (and therefore suspend) can also be explicitly specified with the optional except argument.

Arguments

All optional:

, =force ?, =except (set desk)

Examples

Try to apply update, failing if blocked by any desks:

|bump

Force the update, suspending incompatible desks:

|bump, =force &

Apply kernel update, omitting and suspending the specified desks:

|bump, =except (silt ~[%bitcoin %webterm])

|install

Install a desk, starting its agents and listening for updates.

If it's a remote desk we don't already have, it will be fetched. The agents started will be those specified in the desk.bill manifest. If it has a docket file, its tile will be added to the homescreen and its glob fetched. If we already have the desk, the source for updates will be switched to the ship specified.

It takes a ship and desk as its mandatory arguments. The desk may be installed with a different name specified in the optional local argument.

Arguments

ship desk, =local desk

Examples

|install ~zod %bitcoin

|install our %webterm

|install ~zod %bitcoin, =local %foo

|nuke

Shut down an agent and permanently delete its state.

The default behaviour is to shut down the specified Gall agent and discard its state, similar to the now-deprecated |fade generator. Note this irreversibly wipes the app's state. Additionally, if the optional desk argument is %.y, it takes a desk rather than an agent name and nukes every agent on the specified desk.

Arguments

@tas, =desk ?

Examples

Nuke a single agent:

|nuke %btc-wallet

Nuke every agent on a desk:

|nuke %bitcoin, =desk &

|ota

Set the source of updates for the %base desk (the kernel and core apps) to the specified ship. Automatic updates will be enabled, and any new updates available will be fetched and installed.

Arguments

ship

Examples

|ota ~marzod is equivalent to |install ~marzod %kids, =local %base.

|pause

Pause updates on a desk.

The specified desk will stop tracking updates from its upstream source.

Arguments

desk

Examples

|pause %bitcoin

|rein

Adjust the state of a desk.

This allows you to stop and start agents on a desk, regardless of whether they're on the manifest. Stopped agents have their states archived. It can also suspend and revive the whole desk with the optional liv argument.

Arguments

desk (list [? dude:gall]), =liv ?

Examples

Start an agent:

|rein %bitcoin [& %btc-provider]

Stop an agent, archiving its state:

|rein %bitcoin [| %btc-wallet]

Stop one agent, start another:

|rein %bitcoin [| %btc-wallet] [& %btc-provider]

Suspend a desk:

|rein %bitcoin, =liv |

Revive a desk:

|rein %bitcoin

|resume

Resume updates on a desk.

Start tracking previously |paused updates from a desk's upstream source.

Arguments

desk

Examples

|resume %bitcoin

|revive

Revive all agents on a desk, migrating archived states.

All agents specified in desk.bill which are suspended will be restarted. If updates to the agents have occurred since their states were archived, they'll be migrated with the state transition functions in the agent. This generator does the same thing as selecting "Resume App" from the app tile's hamburger menu.

Arguments

desk

Examples

|revive %bitcoin

|suspend

Shut down all agents on a desk, archiving their states.

The tile in the homescreen (if it has one) will turn gray and say "Suspended" in the top-left corner. This generator does the same thing as selecting "Suspend" from an app tile's hamburger menu.

Arguments

desk

Examples

|suspend %bitcoin

|uninstall

Uninstall a desk, suspending its agents and ignoring updates.

The specified desk will be retained in Clay, but its agents will all be stopped and have their states archived like |suspend. This is the reverse of |install.

Note that this will not remove the tile or glob from the homescreen, so if the desk has a tile it should be uninstalled with the "Remove App" button in the tile's hamburger menu.

Arguments

desk

Examples

|uninstall %bitcoin

+vat

Print out the status of a single installed desk.

Desks in Clay which aren't installed will be omitted. See the related +vats command for details of the individual status fields.

Arguments

desk

Examples

> +vat %base
%base
  /sys/kelvin:      [%zuse 418]

+vats

Print out the status of each installed desk.

Desks in Clay which aren't installed will be omitted. Also see the related +vat command, which prints the status of a single desk rather than all desks.

Fields:

• /sys/kelvin - The version of %zuse the desk is compatible with.
• base hash - The merge base (common ancestor) between the desk and its upstream source.
• %cz hash - The hash of the desk.
• app status - May be suspended or running.
• force on - The set of agents on the desk which have been manually started despite not being on the desk.bill manifest.
• force off - The set of agents on the desk which have been manually stopped despite being on the desk.bill manifest.
• publishing ship - The original publisher if the source ship is republishing the desk.
• updates - May be local, tracking or paused. Local means it will receive updates via commits on the local ship. Tracking means it will receive updates from the source ship. Paused means it will not receive updates.
• source desk - The desk on the source ship.
• source aeon - The revision number of the desk on the source ship.
• pending updates - Updates waiting to be applied due to incompatibility.

Arguments

None.
