collector [ -f datadir ] [ -h hostfile ] [ -t summary time ] [ -d RPC2 debug level ] [ -v ]
Collector receives data from agent programs running on data generating clients. It receives data via RPC2, and stores data in a file in datadir of the form hostname.mmmdd.hh:mm, where the hostname is the host from which the data was received, and the time is the file creation time. The maximum file size on the collector is set by a compile time variable, set at about 5MB. In addition to the options below, collector responds to the signals SIGTERM (close files and shutdown), SIGALRM (print a summary of client activity), SIGEMT (turn up RPC2 debugging), and SIGIOT (turn off RPC2 debugging).
If started when a collector is already running, will exit.
