SYNOPSIS

       nctop [-bhV] [-f file ] [-w seconds ] [-p port ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nctop  is  a  client/server  application to monitor the system state of
       remote hosts. The client probes every host listed in the  configuration
       file and displays a line containing

              - hostname
              - load averages (three samples)
              - CPU states (user/sys/idle)
              - real memory usage (used/free/total)
              - number of users currently logged in

       Clearly,  the client has only access to this information for hosts run-
       ning the nctop daemon (nctopd).

       -f file
              read alternative  configuration  from  file,  then  the  default

       -p port
