NAME

       bnproxy - bnetd tracking daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bntrackd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       bntrackd  is  a  simple  daemon  which  will  listen  for UDP announcement packets sent by
       bnetd(1) servers.  The list of servers and their statistics is written to a text  file  an
       optionally processed by an external program.  A perl(1) script is provided which processes
       this information to produce an HTML document suitable for display on the web.

       bnetd(1) servers must be configured to report to tracking servers.  The bnetd.conf(5) file
       allows  for multiple tracking servers to be listed separated by commas.  The master server
       is track.bnetd.org.  Please consider including that server in your configuration.

OPTIONS

              option  is  not  specified,  the  command "scripts/process.pl" is executed from the
              directory that bntrackd was started.  If an empty string is provided  for  command,
              no command will be executed.

       -e --expire

              bntrackd was started.  If an  empty  string  is  provided  for  logfile,  no  event
              messages will be written.
