NAME
ppud – Pay Per Use daemon
SYNOPSIS
Path: /usr/lbin
ppud
DESCRIPTION
ppud is a daemon that provides system configuration and CPU usage
information to a utility meter system for billing purposes. This daemon
runs on Pay Per Use systems and meters CPU utilization and system
configuration information. The ppud daemon sends this information to a
utility meter as an XML file transmitted via HTTPS
When a report is sent to a utility meter, it is also written to the file
/var/ppu/PPUReport.xml. This report is best viewed using a web
browser that understands XML.
The ppud daemon is automatically started when a system boots if a
utility meter has been specified via the ppuconfig command (see
ppuconfig(1M)). The ppud daemon is also automatically started when the
meter configuration is changed via the ppuconfig command.
The ppud daemon reports errors via syslog.
To un-configure Pay Per Use, kill the daemon (ppud) if it is running and
remove the configuration file (/etc/ppu/ppu_config). Warning, if this is
a Pay Per Use system and the daemon is not running, usage may be
assumed to be 100%.
