NAME
scoopd - SCOOP cluster host agent program

SYNOPSIS
scoopd [-port tcp_port] [-log logfile] [-d]

DESCRIPTION
scoopd is an agent program for the SCOOP cluster resource monitoring tool, which monitors resource data for the SCore Cluster System Software.

SCOOP is a system monitoring tool for the PC Cluster System used with the SCore Cluster System Software. There are three components: an agent program (this program), a data collection server program (ScoopServer(8)), and a GUI tool (Scoop(8)) which displays information collected by the server.

scoopd is designed to be run as a stand-alone daemon process on all compute hosts in a Linux cluster. It periodically collects system resource information from the Linux kernel and provides this information to the data collection server program when requested.

Time-stamped startup messages and error messages will be logged to a logfile, the default logfile being /var/tmp/scoopd-pid.log, where pid is the process ID of the agent.

The options available for scoopd:

-port tcp_port
Specifies the TCP port number on which the program will listen for connections. The default port number is 4007

-log logfile
Specify the name of the logfile to receive time-stamped startup and error messages. If this option is not used the default log file will be /var/tmp/scoopd-pid.log, where pid is the process ID of the agent

-d
Do not daemonize. Normally scoopd runs as a daemon. This option can be used for debugging

BUGS
At present, scoopd is only supported on the Linux operating system.
