NAGIOS-STATD(8)		    System Manager's Manual	       NAGIOS-STATD(8)

NAME
       nagios-statd - nagios-statd daemon

SYNOPSIS
       nagios-statd [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       nagios-statd  (nagios-statd  Daemon)  is	the daemon program for nagios-
       stat(1).	 These programs	together comprise a  systems  monitoring  tool
       for various platforms.  It is designed to be integrated with the	Nagios
       monitoring tool,	although this is not a requirement.

       nagios-statd  is	 the daemon that listens for connections from clients.
       It forks	off a new daemon for each  incoming  connection.   The	forked
       daemon  executes	 a  series  of typical UNIX commands and returns those
       commands	standard output	to the client.

OPTIONS
       -a, --allowedhosts=HOSTS
       HOSTS is	a comma	delimited list of hostnames and/or IP addresses	to ac-
       cept connections	from.  The default behavior (without -a) is to	accept
       incoming	connections from all hosts.

       -b, --bindto=IP
       Normally,  nagios-statd	will bind to all interfaces on a machine.  You
       can enter an IP address to get nagios-statd to only bind	only on	the IP
       of a particular interface.

       -i, --inetd
       It is possible to run nagios-statd from inetd, rather than as a	stand-
       alone daemon.  To do this, you'll need to enter something similar to:

	      /etc/inetd.conf:
	      nagios-statd stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/nagios-statd na-
	      gios-statd -i
	      /etc/services:
	      nagios-statd/1040	tcp

       This  is	 probably  the best way	to run nagios-statd, although that can
       make it prone to	inetd DoSes (which might happen	if the host  is	 moni-
       tored on	a very short interval, such as every couple seconds).

       -p, --port=PORT
       Port for	nagios-statd to	listen to.  The	default	port is	1040.

       -P, --pid=FILE
       Save the	pid (process id) of the	master daemon to FILE.

       -V, --version
       Output version information and exit.

       -h, --help
       Print short option information and exit.

BUGS
       There is	a general lack of feedback for the more	obscure	platforms.  As
       such  their  behavior  might  not always	be particularly	deterministic.
       Feedback	is always  welcome.   Redhat  Linux  contains  Python  1.x  as
       /usr/bin/python.	 This program requires Python 2.x to function.	Either
       change	the   shebang	at   the  top  of  the	program	 to  point  to
       /usr/bin/python2, or change /usr/bin/python to be Python	2.x.
