-
-``cubicweb-ctl`` tool
-=====================
-
-`cubicweb-ctl` is the swiss knife to manage `CubicWeb` instances.
-The general syntax is ::
-
-  cubicweb-ctl <command> [options command] <arguments commands>
-
-To view available commands ::
-
-  cubicweb-ctl
-  cubicweb-ctl --help
-
-Please note that the commands available depends on the `CubicWeb` packages
-and cubes that have been installed.
-
-To view the help menu on specific command ::
-
-  cubicweb-ctl <command> --help
-
-Command to create a cube
-------------------------
-
-* ``newcube``, create a new cube on the file system based on the name
-  given in the parameters. This command create a cube from an application
-  skeleton that includes default files required for debian packaging.
-  
-
-Command to create an instance
------------------------------
-* ``create``, creates the files for the instance configuration
-* ``db-create``, creates the system database of an instance (tables and
-  extensions only)
-* ``db-init``, initializes the system database of an instance
-  (schema, groups, users, workflows...)
-
-By default, those three commandes are encapsulated in ``create`` so
-that they can be executed consecutively.
-
-Command to create an instance for Google AppEngine datastore source
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-* ``newgapp``, creates the configuration files for an instance
-
-This command needs to be followed by the commands responsible for
-the database initialization. As those are specific to the `datastore`,
-specific Google AppEgine database, they are not available for now
-in cubicweb-ctl, but they are available in the instance created.
-
-For more details, please see :ref:`gaecontents` .
-
-Commands to control instances
------------------------------
-* ``start``, starts one or more or all instances
-* ``stop``, stops one or more or all instances
-* ``restart``, restarts one or more or all instances
-* ``status``, returns the status of the instance
-
-Commands to maintain instances
-------------------------------
-* ``upgrade``, launches the existing instances migration when a new version
-  of `CubicWeb` or the cubes installed is available
-* ``shell``, opens a migration shell for manual maintenance of the instance
-* ``db-dump``, creates a dump of the system database
-* ``db-restore``, restores a dump of the system database
-* ``db-check``, checks data integrity of an instance. If the automatic correction
-  is activated, it is recommanded to create a dump before this operation.
-* ``schema-sync``, synchronizes the persistent schema of an instance with
-  the application schema. It is recommanded to create a dump before this operation.
-
-Commands to maintain i18n catalogs
-----------------------------------
-* ``i18nlibupdate``, regenerates messages catalogs of the `CubicWeb` library
-* ``i18nupdate``, regenerates the messages catalogs of a cube
-* ``i18ncompile``, recompiles the messages catalogs of an instance. 
-  This is automatically done while upgrading.
-
-See also chapter :ref:`internationalisation`.
-
-Other commands
---------------
-* ``list``, provides a list of the available configuration, cubes
-  and instances.
-* ``delete``, deletes an instance (configuration files and database)
-
-
-Create an instance from an existing cube
-````````````````````````````````````````
-
-To create an instance from an existing cube, execute the following
-command ::
-
-   cubicweb-ctl create <cube_name> <instance_name>
-
-This command will create the configuration files of an instance in
-``~/etc/cubicweb.d/<instance_name>``.
-The tool ``cubicweb-ctl`` allows you to execute the command ``db-create``
-and ``db-init`` when you run ``create`` so that you can complete an
-instance creation in a single command.
-
-If you decide not to execut those commands while ``cubicweb-ctl create``,
-then you will have to execute them seperately(``cubicweb-ctl db-create``,
-``cubicweb-ctl db-init`` ) otherwise your installation will not be complete
-and you will not be able to launch your instance.
-
-
-Creation of an instance from a new cube
-```````````````````````````````````````
-
-Create first your new cube cube ::
-
-   cubicweb-ctl newcube <mycube>
-
-This will create a new cube in ``/path/to/forest/cubicweb/cubes/<mycube>``
-for a Mercurial forest installation, or in ``/usr/share/cubicweb/cubes``
-for a debian packages installation, and then create an instance as 
-explained just above.
