cereal - client program to attach to cereal session

cereal command [args]

cereal takes various subcommands:

attach SESSION
	Attach to (take control of) cereal session SESSION. This puts the user into a cereal console, provided by a command-restricted screen session. To detach from an attached session, use "C-\ d". For help on other available commands, use "C-\ ?". Cereal uses a limited instance of screen to provide the console. See screen(1) for more info on the available commands. ‘a’ may be used in place of ‘attach’.
follow [options] SESSION
	Follow (watch, without being able to intervene) a cereal session SESSION. The options are: -c [--cat] to cat log instead of follow; -p [--path] to output just the path to the log file and exit. ‘f’ may be used in place of ‘follow’.
list [SESSION]...
	List session(s). With no arguments, will list all sessions. The leading three characters in the list indicate: whether the session is running (+) or not (-) or in some unknown state (?), whether the user can attach to the session (a) or not (-), whether the user can follow the session (f) or not (-). If the session state is unknown (?), it’s usually because the user asking for information about the session can’t read the session stat file. ‘l’ may be used in place of ‘list’.
help	Output a brief usage summary. ‘h’ or ‘?’ may be used in place of ‘help’.

Exit status is 0 if OK, 1 if minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.

If the invoking user does not have read and execute access to the cereal session’s supervise directory, ‘cereal list’ may not always indicate that session’s status accurately.
