NAME

6       sinfo - a monitoring tool for networked computers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       sinfo [-q] [-V] [-W] [-H] [-L] [-h host[:port] ] [-u user ] [-d delay ]
10       [-s] [-o] [-i process ] [-n] [-D] [-t count ]  [-i  processname  ]  [-c
11       scale ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       sinfo  displays  some  information  of the nodes in your local network.
15       For each node the system load, the memory utilization and  the  `TOP-5'
16       user processes will be displayed.
17
18       sinfo  uses  the  sinfod(8)  to gather these informations.  For further
19       details of the internal mechanisms refer to the sinfod(8) manual.

OPTIONS

22       -q/--quiet
23              be quiet - don't display startup informations.
24
25
26       -V/--version
27              Print the version number and exit.
28
29
30       -W/--wwwmode
31              Web-mode: List all hosts and their informations  in  html-format
32              and exit.  Look at sinfo.pl.cgi for a sample cgi-script.
33
34
35       -H/--hostsmode
36              List all host names of nodes running a sinfod(8) and exit.
37
38
39       -I/--ipmode
40              List all IPs of nodes running a sinfod(8) and exit.
41
42
43       --hostsandipmode
44              List  all  host  names  and IP addresses of nodes running a sin‐
45              fod(8) and exit.
46
47
48       -L/--loadmode
49              List all known host names with the current system load and exit.
50
51
52
53       -h/--host <host[:port]>
54              Fetch information from the sinfod(8) running on  `host'  instead
55              of  localhost.  You may also specify the port number of the sin‐
56              fod(8) your are connecting to.  This option  may  be  useful  in
57              cases  where  ssh(1)  or similar programs are used to tunnel the
58              connection from sinfo(1) to sinfod(8) through a firewall.  It is
59              possible  to  use multiple -h option to connect to more than one
60              sinfod to monitor more than one network with one sinfo  process.
61              If  your want to set different delays for the connections -d has
62              to be specified prior to the corresponding -h options.
63
64              $ sinfo -h localhost:60001
65              (the default values)
66
67              $ sinfo -h 127.0.0.1:60001
68              (... if you want to set an IP-address directly)
69
70              $ sinfo -h my.computer.at.work
71              (port 60001 will be used as default on my.computer.at.work)
72
73              $ ssh -q -C me@my.computer.at.work -L 60002:my.computer.at.work:60001
74              (establish the tunnel)
75              $ sinfo -h localhost:60002
76              (connect through the tunnel)
77
78              $ sinfo -h localhost -h host.on.another.net
79              (connect two demons to join the sinfo  broadcasts  of  two  net‐
80              works)

90
91
92       -d/--delay <delay>
