# nutop(1)

display top NUFW Users

## NAME

nutop — display top NUFW Users

## SYNOPSIS

**nutop** \[**-help**\]  \[**-c** *config file\]  \[***-delay** *refresh delay (seconds)\]  \[***-line** *number of lines to display\]  \[***-databasetype**  *mysql/pgsql\]  \[***-host** *db host\]  \[***-user** *db username\]  \[***-pass** *db password\]  \[***-databasename** *db database name\]  \[***-tablename** *db table\]  \[***-port** *db port\]*

## DESCRIPTION

*This manual page documents the*  **nutop** command.

Nutop is to be used by administrators willing to view users activity  on a NuFW server, in real time. The display is designed to look a lot like  the well known top command, as far as general layout is concerned.

The defaulkt configuration file (containing SQL connections  parameters) is located at /etc/nufw/nutop.conf. If decided to  customize it to their needs, care should be taken about file permissions  on that file, as it might let any user of the system access to the NuFW  connection tracking database.

Original packaging and informations and help can be found from http://www.nufw.org/
