NAME

       moprc - MOP Remote console requestor

SYNOPSIS

       moprc [options] <nodename>|<MAC Address>

DESCRIPTION

       moprc  allows  a  system  administrator	to  connect  to MOP console devices (usually terminal servers) and log into them to issue commands
       remotely. It is the equivalent of "NCP CONNECT NODE" or "SET HOST/MOP" on VMS.
       The node maybe specified as a MAC address in Unix format (ie as 6 pairs of hex digits seperated by colons) or as a  name  that  appears	in
       /etc/ethers.
       You will need to be root or have privileges to use moprc.

   OPTIONS
       -i     Selects  the  ethernet  interface  to  use to connect to the device. By default the value of environment variable MOPRC_INTERFACE or
	      "eth0" is used.

       -v     Shows some information about the node that is connected to

       -t     Trigger the node. This normally reboots the server so use this with care!

       -p <n> Changes the poll interval of moprc from 200 ms to <n> ms. Changing this down will increase the risk of timeouts, increasing it  will
	      decrease the speed of the link.

       -h -?  Shows the usage message.

       -V     Shows the version of moprc.

EXAMPLES

	 moprc ds200
	 moprc -i eth1 08:00:2B:2B:AD:99

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       MOPRC_INTERFACE	defines  the  default  interface  to use if not specified on the command line. If not present the interface "eth0" will be
       used.

BUGS

       On Darwin you cannot specify an ethernet address on the command-line, the name MUST be in /etc/ethers.
       You can script moprc but it sends one character per ethernet packet so is very slow.
       There is no locking in moprc so be careful to only run once instance at a time.
