2 September 2002                                RRDcollect 0.2.10                                  RRDCOLLECT(8)

       Hopefully not many...

       The  rrdcollect  daemon  is  responsible  for  fetching  statistical  data from various soures (listed in
       rrdcollect.conf), typically files under /proc/ directory.  It periodically reads them  and  searches  for
       patterns from configuration file.  Values are then stored inside rrdtool's .rrd files.

       RRDcollect  --  Round-Robin Database Collecting Daemon.

       RRDcollect follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

   Generaloptions-cfile--config=file
           Specifies which file should be read instead of default config file.

       -n--no-fork
           Program will not fork.  Very useful when testing or debugging.

       -v--verbose
           Increase  verbosity.  This option also implies --no-fork, since you probably don't want RRDcollect in
           daemon mode trashing your terminal.

   RRDupdateoptions-ofile--output=file
           Specifies file to which rrdtool(1)-style commands should be written.  If  file  you  specify  is  `-'
           (hyphen), then commans are written to standard output (this case implies --no-fork).

       -p--pipe--pipe=program
           When  this  option  is  used,  RRDcollect  will  open  pipe  to rrdtool(1) program and send it update
           commands.  If you don't  give  program,  the  compiled-in  default  is  assumed  (either  `rrdtool->/dev/null'  or  full path to rrdtool(1) binary).  The program option can be specified as a full path
           or just a command name, in the latter case the program should reside on PATH.

       If no RRD update option is given, RRDcollect  uses  internal  librrd  routines  (the  preferred  mode  of
       operation).  If RRDcollect is not compiled with librrd, then it will fall back to pipe-mode.

   Helpandinformation-V--version
           Display RRDcollect's version, compile-time options and license.

       -h--help
           Show summary of options.

       --usage
           Show short usage information.
