peth(1) - Create / Run / reMove a private Ethereum cluster

SYNOPSIS

Creates / Runs / reMoves a private Ethereum cluster.

peth -C|-R|-M  

-C      create new cluster
-R      run the cluster  
-M      remove the cluster directory

Standard options: --help, --man, --version, --home

DESCRIPTION

This version of peth has menus that make the utility more flexible. The first usage example (see below) automates the procedure outlined in Surya's article "Provisioning a Local Private Ethereum Network with Puppeth". This is an excellent article. Its URL is "https://modalduality.org/posts/puppeth/".

The script takes care of re-unlocking accounts, so that it can run for hours without human intervention. The nodes in the cluster all listen on 127.0.0.1, so that there is no need for the Internet connection. Presently, the cluster is configured to have three nodes (node1, node2, and node3).

STANDARD OPTIONS

All standard options provide information only.

• -h, --help
  Prints the contents of the synopsis chapter to stdout for quick reference.

• --man
  Displays this manual page, which is a helpful alternative to using man, if the manual page isn't installed.

• --version
  Prints version information.

• --home
  Opens this utility's home page in the system's default web browser.

USAGE EXAMPLES

./peth -M; ./peth -C; ./test1 | ./peth -R                       # 1
