NAME

npppctl — control the npppd daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The npppctl utility controls the npppd(8) daemon.

The options are as follows:

-n

Show IP addresses instead of their hostnames.

-r rcvbuf_size

npppctl may fail if the receive buffer is not large enough for the requested information. Use rcvbuf_size to extend the receive buffer size instead of the default value of 131072. This must be greater than or equal to 2048.

-s socket

Use socket instead of the default /var/run/npppd_ctl to communicate with npppd.

-t timeout_sec

Use timeout_sec as the I/O timeout timer value in seconds instead of the default value of 2.
