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.

              Run  the  specified  command  after  writing server information to outfile.  If this 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

              string is provided for logfile, no event messages will be written.
