NAME

       pcp-shping - report on shell service availability and response

SYNOPSIS

       pcp [pcp options] shping [-cl?]  tag ...

DESCRIPTION

       pcp-shping samples and reports on the shell-ping service metrics exported by the pmdashping(1) agent.

       The  default  report  from  pcp-shping  shows two columns for each service tag, the first showing service
       status (zero indicating success) and the second service response time, for the  last  pmdashping  command
       refresh cycle.

       When   invoked   via   the  pcp(1)  command,  the  -h/--host,  -a/--archive,  -O/--origin,  -s/--samples,
       -t/--interval, -Z/--timezone and several other pcp options become indirectly available,  see  PCPIntro(1)
       for their descriptions.

       -c, --status

            interval, the current command timeout setting,  count  of  refreshes,  and  the  full  command  line
            associated with each tag.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       Environment  variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by
       PCP.  On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for  these  variables.   The
       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
