NODESTAT(8)                     Domain/OS BSD                      NODESTAT(8)




NAME
     nodestat - display network statistics

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/nodestat [options]

DESCRIPTION
     writes a summary of network and hard disk activity to standard output.

OPTIONS
     If no options are specified, nodestat returns a brief summary of network
     usage information for the current node.

     -l             Long report-provides more information than the summary.

     -config        Configuration report-displays only node-specific hardware
                    information: CPU type, display type, etc.

     -n node_spec ...
                    Provide information on specified node(s).  Multiple
                    node_spec strings are permitted; separate them with
                    blanks.

     -a             Report on all nodes in the network.

     -r [n]         Repeat the nodestat command every n seconds until halted
                    by CTRL/Q.  Only counts that have changed at each
                    iteration are displayed, and the values represent the
                    amount of change rather than absolute values.  The default
                    value for n is 10 seconds.

     -s [n]         Send n test messages to every node being listed (except
                    the current node) before every repeat of the display.  If
                    this option is specified, -r must also be specified.  This
                    option provides a minimum amount of network activity
                    during the wait time between nodestat repeats.  The
                    default value for n is 100 messages.

     -save pathname Save all statistics in the file named pathname.

     -since pathname
                    Display counts that have changed since statistics were
                    saved in pathname.

     A total of 0 ECCC errors were detected.


Notes on Examples
     1.   Node 1FB is running diskless, hence the absence of Winchester disk
          I/O activity.

     2.   At 10:05 A.M. on Feb. 2, 1988, the network cable was disturbed
          immediately upstream of node 241.  This information, coupled with
          the network topology available from lcnode can help you pinpoint a
          hardware malfunction.
