NAME
netamsctl - command-line configuration tool for NeTAMS daemon
SYNOPSIS
netamsctl
[
-s
-f <config-file>
]
command ...
DESCRIPTION
NeTAMS is a Network Traffic Accounting and Monitoring Software. Upon startup,
netams daemon process is accessible via command-line interface provided by
its "server" service. To connect, a generic telnet application could be used.
However, sometimes it is neccessary to issue just a single command: consider
an activity monitoring script, for example. In this case it is useful to provide
some level of automation and avoid login/password typing. That is wherer netamsctl
is useful.
netamsctl
is a simple telnet-like application. It does automatic login onto running NeTAMS process,
ad it will issue a number of commands specified as arguments. Daemon's output will be then
directed to stdout.
OPTIONS
-f config-file
config-file
specifies an alternate configuration file to use.
-s
run silently, do not print username/password/port and command
CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
By default,
netamsctl
will search for a configuration file there:
~/.netamsctl.rc/etc/netams/netamsctl.rc
Pathname could be overriden with command-line option
-f.
That file should contain at most following lines:
login=
your_netams_login_name
password=
your_netams_password_unencrypted
host=
host_name_or_IP_where_netams_running
COMMANDS
You can specify a single
netams
comamnd, or a number of commands separated by
' && '
sequence (be aware of spaces). Multiple commands are neccessary to configure
netams
services. For exapmle:
netamsctl show version
netamsctl service processor && unit host name AA sys-deny && exit
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Of course, you should have NeTAMS daemon running somewhere, and neccessary
access rights.
