NETMRG-GATHERER(1) Manual Pages NETMRG-GATHERER(1)NAME
netmrg-gatherer - Gathers data from devices.
SYNOPSIS
netmrg-gatherer [ OPTIONS ]
DESCRIPTION
netmrg-gatherer performs tests on all enabled hosts in NetMRG. It will store results in RRD files using RRDTOOL(1) and perform actions in
response to events.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
-h Displays usage information and exits.
-v Displays software version and exits.
OPERATING OPTIONS
-t num threads
Run no more than the specified number of threads simultaneously.
-X Become a daemon.
-M mode
Mode of operation. This option controls the manner in which the gatherer operates. The modes currently supported are "once" (the
default, best used manually or via cron) which runs all tests once then exits, and "wait" (best used when daemonized) which will run
all tests, wait for the gatherer interval to expire, and then repeat.
Note: To run netmrg-gatherer daemonized, the recommended set of options at this point is "-X -S -M wait" which will daemonize,
repeat the gather cycle on each interval, and write output to syslog.
LOGGING, DEBUGGING AND VERBOSITY OPTIONS
-S Syslog. Logs messages to syslog instead of stdout.
-b Bland. Disables color output. By default, netmrg-gatherer will display color output when connected to a terminal, but will use
bland output when its output is written to a file. This option should only be needed when the detection mechanism has failed, or
the user doesn't want to see colors when running the program by hand.
-a All. Displays all log messages.
-m Most. Displays more messages than default.
-q Quiet. Silences all output.
-l level mask
Only outputs messages that match the specified level mask.
-c component mask
Only outputs messages that match the specified component mask.
-s Safe. Tries to keep sensitive information out of the displayed messages.
CONFIGURATION FILE OPTIONS
-C config file
Uses the specified XML configuration file.
-K config file
Parses the specified XML configuration file and exits.
DATABASE OPTIONS
-H host
Uses the specified host name for connecting to the database.
-D database
Uses the specified database name.
-u user name
Uses the specified user name for connecting to the database.
-p [ password ]
Uses the specified password for connecting to the database. If no password is specified, the user is prompted to enter one.
RECACHING OPTIONS
-i device id
Performs an interface recache on the specified device.
-d device id
Performs a disk recache on the specified device.
Note: Recaching options are intended for use by the web interface. These options should not be generally used by end users.

proftpd - Professional configurable, secure file transfer protocol server
SYNOPSIS
proftpd [ -hlntv ] [ -c config-file ] [ -d debuglevel ] [ -p 0|1 ]
DESCRIPTION
proftpd is the Professional File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. The server may be invoked by the Internet "super-server" inetd(8)
each time a connection to the FTP service is made, or alternatively it can be run as a standalone daemon.
When proftpd is run in standalone mode and it receives a SIGHUP then it will reread its configuration file. When run in standalone mode
without the -n option, the main proftpd daemon writes its process ID to /var/run/proftpd.pid to make it easy to know which process to
SIGHUP.
OPTIONS -h,--help Display a short usage description, including all available options.
-n,--nodaemon
Runs the proftpd process in standalone mode (must be configured as such in the configuration file), but does not background the
process or disassociate it from the controlling tty. Additionally, all output (log or debug messages) are sent to stderr,
rather than the syslog mechanism. Most often used with the -d option for debugging.
-q,--quiet Quiet mode; don't send logging information to standard error when running with the -n option.
-v,--version
Displays the version number of ProFTPD to stdout.
-D,--define parameter
Sets a configuration parameter which can be used <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to conditionally
skip or process commands.
-d,--debug debuglevel
Sets proftpd's internal debug level (normally 0). The debuglevel should be an integer value from 0 to 10, with higher numbers
producing more debug output. Normally, debug messages are sent to syslog using the DEBUG facility, however if the -n option is
used, all such output is sent to stderr.
-c,--config config-file
Specifies an alternate config-file to be parsed at startup, rather than the default configuration file. The default configura-
tion file is /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
-N,--nocollision
Disables address/port collision checking.
-V,--settings
Displays various compile-time settings and exits.
-S,--serveraddr
Specifies an IP address for the host machine, avoiding an DNS lookup of the hostname
-t,--configtest
Read the configuration file, report any syntax errors, and exit.
-p,--persistent 0|1
Disables (0) or enables (1) the default persistent password support, which is determined at configure time for each platform.
This option only affects the default support, it can still be overridden at run-time with the PersistentPasswd directive.
-l,--list Lists all modules compiled into proftpd.
-4,--ipv4 Support IPv4 functionality only, regardless of whether the --enable-ipv6 configure option was used.
-6,--ipv6 Support IPv6 connections and lookup of IPv6 addresses for server DNS names. This is enabled by default, if the --enable-ipv6
configure option is used.
