NAME

       sinfo-client - a monitoring tool for networked computers (client)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       sinfo-client displays some information of the nodes in your local network.   For  each  node  the  system
       load, the memory utilization and the `TOP-5' user processes will be displayed.

       sinfo-client  uses  the  sinfod(8)  to  gather  these  informations.  For further details of the internal
       mechanisms refer to the sinfod(8) manual.

OPTIONS

       -q/--quiet
              be quiet - don't display startup informations.

       -V/--version
              Print the version number and exit.

       -W/--wwwmode
              Web-mode: List all hosts and their informations in html-format and exit.  Look at sinfo.pl.cgi for
              a sample cgi-script.

       -H/--hostsmode
              List all host names of nodes running a sinfod(8) and exit.

       -I/--ipmode
              List all IPs of nodes running a sinfod(8) and exit.

       --hostsandipmode
              List all host names and IP addresses of nodes running a sinfod(8) and exit.

       -L/--loadmode
              List all known host names with the current system load and exit.

       -h/--host <host[:port]>
              Fetch information from the sinfod(8) running on `host' instead of localhost.  You may also specify
              the port number of the sinfod(8) your are connecting to.  This option may be useful in cases where
              ssh(1)  or  similar  programs  are used to tunnel the connection from sinfo-client(1) to sinfod(8)
              through a firewall.  It is possible to use multiple -h option to connect to more than  one  sinfod
              to  monitor  more  than  one network with one sinfo-client process.  If your want to set different
              delays for the connections -d has to be specified prior to the corresponding -h options.

              $ sinfo-client -h localhost:60001
              (the default values)

              $ sinfo-client -h 127.0.0.1:60001
              (... if you want to set an IP-address directly)

              $ sinfo-client -h my.computer.at.work
              (port 60001 will be used as default on my.computer.at.work)

              $ ssh -q -C me@my.computer.at.work -L 60002:my.computer.at.work:60001
              (establish the tunnel)
              $ sinfo-client -h localhost:60002
              (connect through the tunnel)

              $ sinfo-client -h localhost -h host.on.another.net
              (connect two demons to join the sinfo broadcasts of two networks)

       --udp / --tcp
              Use UDP(default) or TCP to connect to sinfod.

       -u/--user <user>
              Highlight all processes of `user' instead of using environment variable $LOGNAME.

       -d/--delay <delay>
              Set the delay (in seconds) between two updates.  Default is one second.

       --filtermarker <marker>
              Request only informations matching <marker>.

       -s/--systeminfo
              Include system information (resolved by a uname -a call) in the list.

       -o/--own
              Only display your own processes or the processes owned by user '-u user' (this overrides  the  '-t
              count' setting).

       -i/--ignore <process>
              Don't display <process> ; --ignore may be set multiple times.

       -n/--netload
              Display network load.

       -D/--diskload
              Display disk load (buffer allocation rate) of locally connected disks.

       -t/--top <count>
              Restrict the number of processes displayed to `count'.

       -c/--scale <scale>
              Set the scaling of the CPU load bars to "log", "lin" or "full".
