The tarantella command

Description

You control Tarantella from the command line using the install_dir/bin/tarantella command.

Don't try to control the Tarantella server by running binaries directly, or by using kill. Using the tarantella command is the only supported way of controlling the Tarantella server.

The options let you control the Tarantella server in different ways, or produce information about the Tarantella server. The tarantella command can be used in your own shell scripts to help automate your administration of Tarantella.
