NAME

imisc - miscellaneous network service -- initiator

SYNOPSIS

imischost[ prefix arguments ][operation [ arguments ... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

The imisc program requests an operation fromthe miscellaneous network serviceprovided by a server using remote operations services.The currently supported operations are:

operation    descriptionutctime      the universal timegentime      the generalized timetime         the current time since the epochusers        the users logged in on the systemchargen      the character generation patternqotd         the quote of the dayfinger       the finger of users logged inpwdgen       some pseudo-randomly generated passwordstell         send a message to a remote userping         ping test for performance measurementsink         sink test for performance measurementecho         echo test for performance measurement

This program initiates remote operations to the ``isodemiscellany'' service.

The prefix arguments are used to direct how many times the performancemeasurement tests should run:the `-c count' switch indicates the number of iterations to try,and the `-l length' switch indicates the number of octets to send asuser data for each iteration.

If no operation is given on the command line,then imisc enters interactive mode:imisc will examine each line of the standard-input,treating the first word as the operation, and any remaining words asarguments.(Currently, only the finger operation takes arguments.)

The pseudo-operations help and quit do the obvious things.
