NAME
       spmonitor - Spread Monitoring and Adminstration client

SYNOPSIS
       spmonitor [-n proc_name] [-c config_file] [-t status_timeout] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION
       spmonitor Provides a general monitoring and administrative tool for the
       Spread system.  The spmonitor program can send queries and commands to
       Spread daemons to either gather debugging or performance statistics, or
       to shut down specific daemons or change flow control parameters of the
       system to tune performance.

       Some details about the effective use of the spmonitor program are
       contained in the Users Guide which is available from the Spread web
       site www.spread.org.

OPTIONS
       -t status_timeout
              The seconds between every status report. The default is 10.

       -p port
              The port number, to which the spmonitor program should connect
              in order to reach a Spread daemon.

       -n proc_name
              Force this daemon to be identified by a specific process name.

       -c config-file
              Use an alternate configuration file config-file instead of
              /etc/spread.conf.

FILES
       /etc/spread.conf
              The default config file location.

BUGS
       The spmonitor works by sending UDP packets to the Spread daemon, so if
       network losses occur, commands or status reports can be lost. It can
       also lose reports when monitoring a large number of daemons.
