owup(1)                                                                owup(1)

NAME

       owup - Client application to query the server for uptime information

SYNOPSIS

       owup [options] servhost

DESCRIPTION

       owup is a command line client application used to fetch uptime informa-
       tion from the server.  The  owampd  greeting  message  provides  uptime
       information.  This can be useful information for clients that run long-
       duration test and for monitoring purposes.

       servhost can be specified using rfc2396 and  rfc2732  syntax  for  both
       host and port specification:

       node:port
              IPv4  syntax  where  node is either a DNS name or a numeric host
              address string consisting of a dotted decimal IPv4 address.  The
              port is an optional port specifier to contact servers running on
              a non-default port and can be left off in most cases.  This syn-
              tax also works for IPv6 addresses specified using DNS names.

       [node]:port
              IPv6  syntax  where  node is specified using a numeric IPv6 host
              address string. The []'s are required only if the optional  port
              port specifier is used.

OPTIONS

       -h
              Print a usage message and exit.

              Default:
                     Unset.

EXAMPLES

       owup somehost.com

              Contact host somehost.com. Fetch the uptime information and dis-
              play it.
