NAME
       rgpsp - remote system info polling tool

SYNOPSIS
       rgpsp [-p port] [--nodaemon] [ip address] [...]

       rgpsp [-h | -v]

DESCRIPTION
       This man page documents the rgpsps that accompanies gps version 1.0.1.

       rgpsp  provides	a  top-like  output through a tcp port, so that remote
       machines may gather information about processes and load on the machine
       rgpsp is running on.

       rgpsp is on most cases a symbolic link to a real poller which will have
       other name and depends on the machine's OS.

       It is distributed together with gps (1x), which is able to  read	 rgpsp
       information  and	 display  it  graphically  in a multitude of ways. See
       gps's man page for details.

       rgpsp stands for remote	gps  poller,  and  gps	stands	for  Graphical
       Process Statistics.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       --nodaemon
	      by  default  rgpsp  runs	in  daemon mode: it will put itself in
	      background and write messages and errors to the syslog facility.
	      In  nodaemon  mode  it  will write messages and errors to stderr
	      instead.

       -p     listens for connections on TCP port port. When not specified  it
	      will listen to port 24374.

       IP addresses
	      These specify the adresses of client machines allowed to connect
	      (e.g., the IP of machines running	 gps).	 These	addresses  are
	      appended	to those configured in the /etc/rgpsp.conf file. If no
	      hosts are in the list (empty /etc/rgpsp.conf and no IPs on  com‐
	      mand  line)  then	 any  machine may connect. Addresses should be
	      provided	in  standard   dot   notation,	 e.g.,	 127.0.0.1   ,
	      200.246.30.44.   The  exclamation	 line  in  /etc/rgpsp.conf may
	      inhibit all IP addresses given in the command line.

       -v or -h
	      Displays version information and exits.

/etc/rgpsp.conf
       The hosts allowed to connect may be specified  in  the  /etc/rgpsp.conf
       file. The configuration file is straightforward:

       one  address per line. Both hostnames and dot notation IPs are allowed,
       but IPs are preferred.

       a line starting with an asterisk (*) tells rgpsp to allow any  host  to
       connect, despite any other configurations.

       a  line	starting  with an exclamation (!) tells rgpsp not to accept IP
       addresses from the command line.

       lines starting with # are comments, ignored by rgpsp.

PORTABILITY
       rgpsp has ports to Linux and FreeBSD/i386.

CAVEATS
       If you are going to run rgpsp on system startup and have	 hostnames  in
       the  /etc/rgpsp.conf, don't forget to run named (or whichever DNS reso‐
       lution daemon you prefer) before running rgpsp.	 A  SysV  init	script
       should have been installed as /etc/rc.d/init.d/rgpsp
