The up.time Linux agent has a built-in daemon option that allows users to run the up.time agent without (x)inetd installed on their server. The daemon allows access to be restricted to a specific hostname belonging to the up.time monitoring station as detailed below.\n
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p <port> -b <hostname>\n
\n
An example launch may look like this:\n
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b my.uptime.host.com \n
\n
A common error is to include uptimesoftware.com in the bind option. For example, the launch command below incorrectly binds the agent daemon to only accept connections from uptimesoftware.com.\n
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b uptimesoftware.com
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p <port> -b <hostname>\n
\n
An example launch may look like this:\n
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b my.uptime.host.com \n
\n
A common error is to include uptimesoftware.com in the bind option. For example, the launch command below incorrectly binds the agent daemon to only accept connections from uptimesoftware.com.\n
\n
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b uptimesoftware.com
