# ntpsnmpd(1)

NTP SNMP MIB agent

## NAME

ntpsnmpd - NTP SNMP MIB agent

## SYNOPSIS

**ntpsnmpd** \[**-*flag*** \[*value*\]\]... \[**--*opt-name*** \[\[=\| \]*value*\]\]...

All arguments must be options.

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents the **ntpsnmpd** command. Its description is not documented.

## OPTIONS

- **-n**, **--nofork**

  Do not fork.

- **-p**, **--syslog**

  Log to syslog().

- **--agentxsocket**=*string*

  The socket address ntpsnmpd uses to connect to net-snmpd. The default *string* for this option is:\
    unix:/var/agentx/master

  \[\<transport-specifier\>:\]\<transport-address\> The default is the Unix Domain socket "unix:/var/agentx/master". Another common alternative is tcp:localhost:705.

- **-?**, **--help**

  Display extended usage information and exit.

- **-!**, **--more-help**

  Extended usage information passed thru pager.

- **-\>** \[*rcfile*\], **--save-opts**\[=*rcfile*\]

  Save the option state to *rcfile*.  The default is the *last* configuration file listed in the **OPTION PRESETS** section, below.

- **-\<** *rcfile*, **--load-opts**=*rcfile*, **--no-load-opts**

  Load options from *rcfile*. The *no-load-opts* form will disable the loading of earlier RC/INI files.  *--no-load-opts* is handled early, out of order.

- **-** \[{*v\|c\|n*}\], **--version**\[=*{v\|c\|n}*\]

  Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is \`v', a simple version.  The \`c' mode will print copyright information and \`n' will print the full copyright notice.

## OPTION PRESETS

Any option that is not marked as *not presettable* may be preset by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from environment variables named:

```
  NTPSNMPD_<option-name> or NTPSNMPD
```

The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than) the configuration files. The *homerc* files are "*$HOME*", and "*.*". If any of these are directories, then the file *.ntprc* is searched for within those directories.
