LCNODE(8)                       Domain/OS BSD                        LCNODE(8)




NAME
     lcnode - list nodes connected to the network

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/lcnode [options]

DESCRIPTION
     lcnode lists the nodes currently connected to the network.  The list
     contains the ID of every node connected, the time at which the node was
     started, the current time, and the name of each node's entry directory.

     This command reports only the nodes that respond within a preset time
     limit.  If a node is connected, but temporarily unable to respond within
     the specified time, it does not appear in the produced list.

OPTIONS
     -m[e]          Request information about your node only. This option
                    displays the node ID.

     -b[rief]       Request brief output.  lcnode lists only the entry
                    directory name for each connected node.  Note that the
                    entry directory of a diskless node is the entry directory
                    of its paging partner.

     -id            When used with -brief, display the node ID in addition to
                    the entry directory.

     -c[ount]       Request node count only.  lcnode lists only the number of
                    nodes responding to its query.

     -max[nodes] n  Set a limit on the number of nodes you want to see, even
                    if more could respond.

     -from node_spec
                    Starts the node list at some node other than your own.
                    This is especially useful in an internet environment, for
                    looking at networks other than your own.  See help
                    node_spec for details about node specification syntax.

     -name          When you specify the -brief option, lcnode normally prints
                    the entry directory for each node. If you specify -name
                    with -brief, lcnode prints the node name cataloged with
                    the naming server. Only diskless nodes are printed
                    differently.  A diskless node's entry directory is its
                    partner's node name; a diskless node's node name is
                    uniquely its own.

                    Unless the -from option specifies your own node, the list
                    includes only an unbroken sequence of nodes running Aegis
                    SR9.0 or later. The rest of the node list is lost,
                    starting with the first node running a pre-SR9.0 Aegis.

EXAMPLES
1. $ /etc/lcnode

The node ID of this node is 21.  3 other nodes responded.

id        Boot time        Current time      Entry Directory

21  1987/06/09  9:21:44 1987/06/09 16:06:22  //dollar
17  1987/06/09 13:52:02 1987/06/09 16:06:13  //quarter
27  1987/06/09 12:53:28 1987/06/09 16:06:07  //nickel
11  1987/06/09 12:03:39 1987/06/09 16:06:15  ** DISKLESS **
                            //diskless_$11 partner node: 17

2. $ /etc/lcnode -me

     The node id of this node is 21.

3. $ /etc/lcnode -b

    //dollar
    //quarter
    //nickel
    //quarter

  (//quarter appears once as the host for a diskless node and
    once for the node with the disk.)

4.  $ /etc/lcnode -b -name

    //dollar
    //quarter
    //nickel
    //diskless_$000011

   (-name shows you the name under which diskless node 11
   is cataloged)

5.  $ /etc/lcnode -c
    466 other nodes responded.

6.  $ /etc/lcnode -c -b
    466
7.  $ /etc/lcnode -c -m
    The node id of this node is 116A.
    466 other nodes responded.

8.  $ /etc/lcnode -b -id
    21  //dollar
    17  //quarter
    27  //nickel
    11  //quarter

9.  $ /etc/lcnode -from 0FAD.3924 -max 2

     Starting from node 3924.
     1 other node responded,
        but more might have responded with a high -max value.
