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 statis-
       tics is written to a text file an optionally processed by an external program.  A perl(1) script is provided which processes this  informa-
       tion 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.

OPTIONS
       -c --command
	      Run the  specified  command  after  writing  server  information	to  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 com-
	      mand will be executed.
