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

NAME
     moprc - MOP Remote console requestor

SYNOPSIS
     moprc [options] <nodename>|<MAC Address>

DESCRIPTION
     moprc allows a system administrator to connect to MOP console devices (usu-
     ally  terminal servers) and log into them to issue commands remotely. It is
     the equivalent of "NCP CONNECT NODE" or "SET HOST/MOP" on VMS.
     The node maybe specified as a MAC address in Unix format (ie as 6 pairs  of
     hex digits seperated by colons) or as a name that appears in /etc/ethers.
     You will need to be root or have privileges to use moprc.

   OPTIONS
     -i     Selects  the  ethernet interface to use to connect to the device. By
	    default the value of environment variable MOPRC_INTERFACE or  "eth0"
	    is used.

     -v     Shows some information about the node that is connected to

     -t     Trigger  the node. This normally reboots the server so use this with
	    care!

     -p <n>
	    Changes the poll interval of moprc from 200 ms to <n>  ms.	Changing
	    this down will increase the risk of timeouts, increasing it will de-
	    crease the speed of the link.

     -h -?  Shows the usage message.

     -V     Shows the version of moprc.

EXAMPLES
       moprc ds200
       moprc -i eth1 08:00:2B:2B:AD:99

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     MOPRC_INTERFACE  defines  the  default interface to use if not specified on
     the command line. If not present the interface "eth0" will be used.

BUGS
     On Darwin you cannot specify an ethernet address on the  command-line,  the
     name MUST be in /etc/ethers.
     You  can  script moprc but it sends one character per ethernet packet so is
     very slow.
     There is no locking in moprc so be careful to only run once instance  at  a
     time.
