NAME
aecho - send AppleTalk Echo Protocol packets to network hosts SYNOPSIS
aecho [ -c count ] ( address | nbpname ) DESCRIPTION
aecho repeatedly sends an Apple Echo Protocol (AEP) packet to the host specified by the given AppleTalk address or nbpname and reports whether a reply was received. Requests are sent at the rate of one per second. address is parsed by atalk_aton(3). nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3). The nbp type defaults to `Workstation'. When aecho is terminated, it reports the number of packets sent, the number of responses received, and the percentage of packets lost. If any responses were received, the minimum, average, and maximum round trip times are reported. EXAMPLE
Check to see if a particular host is up and responding to AEP packets: example% aecho bloodsport 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=0. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=1. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=2. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=3. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=4. time=10. ms 11 bytes from 8195.13: aep_seq=5. time=9. ms ^C ----8195.13 AEP Statistics---- 6 packets sent, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 9/9/10 OPTIONS

NAME
nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr - access NBP database SYNOPSIS
nbplkup [ -r nresp ] [ nbpname ] nbprgstr [ -p port ] nbpname nbpunrgstr nbpname DESCRIPTION
nbprgstr registers nbpname with atalkd(8), at the given port. nbpunrgstr informs atalkd that nbpname is no longer to be advertised. nbplkup displays up to nresp (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet. nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3). An `=' for the object or type matches anything, and an `*' for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an nbpname. EXAMPLE
Find all devices of type LaserWriter in the local zone. example% nbplkup :LaserWriter Petoskey:LaserWriter 7942.129:218 Gloucester:LaserWriter 8200.188:186 Rahway:LaserWriter 7942.2:138 517 Center:LaserWriter 7942.2:132 ionia:LaserWriter 7942.2:136 Evil DEC from Hell:LaserWriter 7942.2:130 Hamtramck:LaserWriter 7942.2:134 Iron Mountain :LaserWriter 7942.128:250 example% SEE ALSO
