NAME

       bnproxy - bnetd tracking daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bntrackd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       bntrackd  is  a  simple  daemon  which will listen for UDP announcement
       packets sent by bnetd(1)  servers.   The  list  of  servers  and  their
       statistics  is  written  to  a  text file an optionally processed by an
       external program.  A perl(1) script is provided  which  processes  this
       information  to  produce  an  HTML document suitable for display on the
       web.

       bnetd(1) servers must be configured to report to tracking servers.  The
       bnetd.conf(5)  file  allows  for multiple tracking servers to be listed
       separated by commas.  The master  server  is  track.bnetd.org.   Please
       consider including that server in your configuration.

              outfile.   If  this  option  is  not  specified,   the   command
              "scripts/process.pl"   is   executed  from  the  directory  that
              bntrackd was started.   If  an  empty  string  is  provided  for
              command, no command will be executed.

       -e --expire
              Set  the  period  of  time in seconds to keep server information

              written  from  the  directory  that bntrackd was started.  If an

              Record the process ID  of  the  tracking  daemon  in  the

       -u --update
              Set the period of time in seconds between updates of  the
