SYNOPSIS

|
--------
|
|
|

|
|
|

**plugin** command \[parameter\] \[second\_parameter\]

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The **plugin** RPC command allows to manage plugins without having to
|
|
|
|
|
restart lightningd. It takes 1 to 3 parameters: a command
|
|
|
|
|
(start/stop/startdir/rescan/list) which describes the action to take and
|
|
|
|
|
optionally one or two parameters which describes the plugin on which the
|
|
|
|
|
action has to be taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *start* command takes a path as the first parameter and will load the
|
|
|
|
|
plugin available from this path. It will wait for the plugin to complete
|
|
|
|
|
the handshake with `lightningd` for 20 seconds at the most.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *stop* command takes a plugin name as parameter. It will kill and
|
|
|
|
|
unload the specified plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *startdir* command takes a directory path as first parameter and will
|
|
|
|
|
load all plugins this directory contains. It will wait for each plugin to
|
|
|
|
|
complete the handshake with `lightningd` for 20 seconds at the most.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *rescan* command starts all not-already-loaded plugins from the
|
|
|
|
|
default plugins directory (by default *~/.lightning/plugins*).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *list* command will return all the active plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On success, all subcommands but *stop* return an array *plugins* of
|
|
|
|
|
objects, one by plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
Each object contains the name of the plugin (*name* field) and its
|
|
|
|
|
status (*active* boolean field). Since plugins are configured
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronously, a freshly started plugin may not appear immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On error, the reason why the action could not be taken upon the
|
|
|
|
|
plugin is returned.
