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 moni-
     toring 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 ex-
     ecutes  a	series of typical UNIX commands and returns those commands stan-
     dard output to the client.

OPTIONS
     -a, --allowedhosts=HOSTS
     HOSTS is a comma delimited list of hostnames and/or IP addresses to  accept
     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  standalone
     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 nagios-
	    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 monitored  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.   Feed-
     back   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.
