This utility is found in the libexec directory. It is part of an internal automated test framework used in testing and debugging MySQL Cluster. Because it can control processes on remote systems, it is not advisable to use ndb_cpcd in a production cluster.

The source files for ndb_cpcd may be found in the directory storage/ndb/src/cw/cpcd, in the MySQL Cluster source tree.

Deprecated feature.  As of MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0, this program is deprecated and no longer actively maintained. It is subject to removal in a future MySQL Cluster version.
