MPDCHECK(1)

NAME
unrecognized - manual page for mpdcheck command

DESCRIPTION
mpdcheck

This script is a work in progress and may change frequently as we work with users and gain additional insights into how to improve it.

This script prints useful information about the host on which it runs. It is here to help us help users detect problems with configurations of their computers. For example, some computers are configured to think of themselves simply as 'localhost' with 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This might present problems if a process on that computer wishes to identify itself by host and port to a process on another computer. The process on the other computer would try to contact 'localhost'.

If you are having problems running parallel jobs via mpd on one or more hosts, you might try running this script once on each of those hosts.

Any output with *** at the beginning indicates a potential problem that you may have to resolve before being able to run parallel jobs via mpd.

  For help:

    mpdcheck -h (or --help)

    prints this message

In the following modes, the -v (verbose) option provides info about what mpdcheck is doing; the -l (long messages) option causes long informational messages to print in situations where problems are spotted.

The three major modes of operation for this program are:

    mpdcheck

    looks for config problems on 'this' host; prints as nec

    mpdcheck -pc

    print config info about 'this' host, e.g. contents of /etc/hosts, etc.

    mpdcheck -f some_file [-ssh]

    prints info about 'this' host and locatability info about the ones listed in some_file as well (note the file might be mpd.hosts); the -ssh option can be used in conjunction with the -f option to cause ssh tests to be run to each remote host

    mpdcheck -s

    runs this program as a server on one host

    mpdcheck -c server_host server_port

    runs a client on another (or same) host; connects to the specifed host/port where you previously started the server
