PPU Manpages

ppuconfig (1M) Manpage

Options

ppuconfig recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

-mmeter Specifies the utility meter that the Pay Per Use system should use for reporting. The meter can be specified as a fully qualified hostname or IP address. A non-blank value is required.

-pproxy[:port] Specifies the proxy server that should be used by this system for HTTPS transmission if a proxy server is required. Optionally, a port number can be appended to the proxy server specification. Proxy configuration can be cleared by specifying an empty string (“”) as the proxy server value.

-ssystem_id

Specifies the system identifier that the Pay Per Use

 

system should use when reporting. This can be any

 

value that helps you to identify this system (for

 

example, a tracking number, asset number, physical

 

location, etc). Until a system identifier is specified, the

 

hostname will be used by default.

-h

Specifies that the hostname should be used as the

 

system identifier for the Pay Per Use system, when

 

reporting usage information.

-u

Starts an interactive session to allow setting a

 

username and password for the proxy server, if

 

required by the proxy server. These values can be

 

cleared by pressing Enter when prompted for a

 

username.

-t

Perform communication test between Pay Per Use

 

software and the configured utility meter.
