TRAFSTATD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		  TRAFSTATD(8)

NAME
       trafstatd -- ip traffic statistics daemon.

SYNOPSIS
       trafstatd [-V] [-L logfile]

DESCRIPTION
       TrafStatD  daemon  allow	remote requests	of the current traffic statis-
       tic, collected via trafd	(see trafd(8)).

       Client program for trafstatd is named trafstat (see trafstat(1)).   The
       telnet program (see telnet(1)) can use as an alternative	client.

   Usage
       Trafstatd is normally invoked by	the internet server (see inetd(8)) for
       requests	 to  connect  to the selected port (for	example, 150) as indi-
       cated by	the /etc/services file (see services(5)).  If you  run	trafs-
       tatd  manually, it display error	message.  Run trafstatd	with -V	option
       for display version number.

   Installation
       After compilation and installation BPFT programs	do following steps:

       1.   Add	line to	/etc/services for use some (not	used by	other applica-
	    tion) tcp port for incoming	connections to trafstatd, for example:

	    trafstat 150/tcp # network traffic statistic

       2.   Add	line to	/etc/inetd.conf	for invoke trafstatd  from  inetd  for
	    incoming connections to trafstat tcp port, for example:

	    trafstat   stream	tcp   nowait   root  /usr/local/sbin/trafstatd
	    trafstatd

       3.   Force inetd	to re-read config file:

	    killall -HUP inetd

	    (or	kill -1	with the PID number of the inetd)

   Retrieve current traffic statistic.
       Run the trafstat	program	(see trafstat(1)) for connect to trafstat port
       or run the "telnet host port" (see telnet(1)) and  put  the  string  of
       command line parameters to remote trafstat.
