mlisten

mlisten display multicast pings from the ParaStation daemon psid(8)

Synopsis

mlisten [-dv?] [-m MCAST] [-p PORT] [-n IP] [-# NODES] [--usage]

Description

Display the multicast pings the ParaStation daemon psid(8) is emitting continuously. These pings are displayed by spinning bars.

Each ping received from node N lets the Nth bar spin around one more step. For each node never received a multicast ping from a '.' is displayed.

ParaStation by default no longer uses multicast messages. Thus, no multicast messages will be ever received and displayed using the default configuration!
