nutop - display top NUFW Users

nutop [-help] [-c config file] [-delay refresh delay (seconds)] [-line number of lines to display] [-databasetype mysql/pgsql] [-host db host] [-user db username] [-pass db password] [-databasename db database name] [-tablename db table] [-port db port]

This manual page documents the nutop command.

Nutop is to be used by administrators willing to view users activity on a NuFW server, in real time. The display is designed to look a lot like the well known top command, as far as general layout is concerned.

The defaulkt configuration file (containing SQL connections parameters) is located at /etc/nufw/nutop.conf. If decided to customize it to their needs, care should be taken about file permissions on that file, as it might let any user of the system access to the NuFW connection tracking database.

Original packaging and informations and help can be found from http://www.nufw.org/
