NAME

       moprc - MOP Remote console requestor

SYNOPSIS

       moprc [options] <nodename>|<MAC Address>

DESCRIPTION

       moprc  allows a system administrator to connect to MOP console devices (usually terminal servers) and log
       into them to issue commands remotely. It is the equivalent of "NCP CONNECT NODE"  or  "SET  HOST/MOP"  on
       VMS.
       The  node  maybe  specified  as  a  MAC  address in Unix format (ie as 6 pairs of hex digits separated by
       colons) or as a name that appears in /etc/ethers.
       You will need to be root or have privileges to use moprc.

   OPTIONS
       -i     Selects the ethernet interface to  use  to  connect  to  the  device.  By  default  the  value  of
              environment variable MOPRC_INTERFACE or "eth0" is used.

       -v     Shows some information about the node that is connected to

       -t     Trigger the node. This normally reboots the server so use this with care!

       -p <n> Changes  the  poll  interval  of moprc from 200 ms to <n> ms. Changing this down will increase the
              risk of timeouts, increasing it will decrease the speed of the link.

       -h -?  Shows the usage message.

       -V     Shows the version of moprc.

EXAMPLES

         moprc ds200
         moprc -i eth1 08:00:2B:2B:AD:99

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       MOPRC_INTERFACE defines the default interface to use if not specified on the command line. If not present
       the interface "eth0" will be used.

BUGS

       On Darwin you cannot specify an ethernet address on the command-line, the name MUST be in /etc/ethers.
       You can script moprc but it sends one character per ethernet packet so is very slow.
       There is no locking in moprc so be careful to only run once instance at a time.
