.SH NAME
snmpps - display process table on a network entity via SNMP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B snmpps
[COMMON OPTIONS] [\-Cp] [\-Ca] [\-C n | m | t ] AGENT
.PP
.B snmptop
[COMMON OPTIONS] [\-Cp] [\-Ca] [\-C n | m | t ] AGENT
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B snmpps
is a networked version of a simple \fIps\fR command. It
checks the processes on the remote machine by examining the
HOST\-RESOURCES\-MIB's \fIhrSWRunTable\fR and the \fIhrSWRunPerfTable\fR.
.PP
AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented
to monitor the given objects.  At its simplest, the AGENT
specification will consist of a hostname or an IPv4
address.  In this situation, the command will attempt
communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port 161
of the given target host. See the
.I snmpcmd(1)
manual page for a full list of the possible formats for AGENT.

.B snmptop
emulates the \fItop\fR command using SNMP. While running, the keyboard
inputs of 'c', 'n', 'm', 't' switches sorting between cpu, pid, memory,
or total runtime.
Typing 'i' toggles hiding idle processes, while 'o' toggles hiding Os processes.
Typing 'a' toggles display of hrSWRunParameters, 'p' toggles display
of hrSWRunPath.
