.B tripectl
will start a new
.B tripe
-server, rather than connecting to an existing one. This is most useful
-if you want to collect logging information from the server, and want to
-avoid losing any. For example, the command
+server, rather than connecting to an existing one.
+.PP
+The command line for the new server is
+.IP
+.I path
+.B \-F
+.B \-d.\&
+.B \-a
+.I socket
+.I dash-S-options
+.PP
+where
+.I dash-S-options

+options, split at commas.

+Starting a
+.B tripe
+server through
+.B tripectl
+is most useful if you want to collect logging information from the
+server, and want to avoid losing any. For example, the command
.VS
tripectl -Ds -f tripe.log
