SPRAYD(8)

NAME
rpc.sprayd - stress-test your network links

SYNOPSIS
rpc.sprayd [-l] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
sprayd is the RPC server that acts as a data sink for the spray(8) program, and provides statistics about the packets received.

OPTIONS

-l  Turns on logging to syslog's daemon facility at level info. This feature logs a one-line summary on each occasion your host is being sprayed. The time given in this summary may deviate somewhat from that shown by the spray client, because the client usually factors out the RPC round-trip time, which may be inaccurate.

-n  Normally, sprayd forks immediately after invocation, and puts itself in the background. This can be avoided by using the -n option.

BUGS

*   Currently, sprayd cannot be managed by inetd.

*   sprayd doesn't attempt to guard against abuse.

*   When using the -n and -l option together, sprayd should log to the console, too. I didn't get this to work.
