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.

              started.  If an empty string is provided for command, no command will be executed.

       -e --expire
