       The nnssrrwwaattcchh program displays a NetWorker server's status.
       The server's name is specified by the optional  --ss  _s_e_r_v_e_r
       argument.   If  no server is specified, it defaults to the
       same server that would  be  used  by  a  command  such  as
       rreeccoovveerr(8) in the current directory.  That is, if the cur-
       rent directory is mounted from a network file server, that
       file  server  is  tried,  and then the machine running the
       command (if it is a NetWorker server), or the logical host
       name  nnssrrhhoosstt.   If  there  is no NetWorker service on the
       selected machine, the command  issues  an  error  message.
       The polling interval is specified by the optional --pp _p_o_l_l_-
       _t_i_m_e argument (in seconds).  The default is two seconds.

       Users can run nnssrrwwaattcchh from any terminal that  has  enough
       tteerrmmccaapp(5)  capabilities  for  cursor positioning; it does
       not require any particular window  system.   The  nnssrrwwaattcchh
       program gets its information via remote procedure calls to
       the specified server, so it can be used from  any  machine
       that can access the server through the network.

       The  nnssrrwwaattcchh display is divided into a header and several
       panels: the _S_e_r_v_e_r panel, the _D_e_v_i_c_e panel,  the  _S_e_s_s_i_o_n_s
       panel,  the _M_e_s_s_a_g_e_s panel, and the _P_e_n_d_i_n_g message panel.
       The panel sizes will be adjusted depending on the size  of
       the terminal or window being used.

       The header contains the name of the server and the current
       time.  The _S_e_r_v_e_r panel provides  current  status  of  the
       server.  The first line of the panel is reserved for error
       messages.  This line is  usually  blank.   The  next  line
       tells  how  long  the server has been up, and the server's
       release version (which may not be the same as the client's
       release  version).   The  following lines display how many
       saves and recovers the current server has performed.

       The _D_e_v_i_c_e panel displays the devices known to the current
       server.  For each device, the panel displays its name, the
       device  type,  the  name  of  the   mounted   volume,   or
       ((uunnmmoouunntteedd))  if  no  volume is mounted, and device status.
       The name may be followed by ((JJ)) if the device  is  config-
       ured as part of a jukebox device.  The _S_e_s_s_i_o_n_s panel pro-
       vides current save set information for each active session
       (saving,  recovering,  or  browsing).   The _M_e_s_s_a_g_e_s panel
       displays a history of messages of general interest to  the
       operator.   Finally,  the  _P_e_n_d_i_n_g  message panel displays
       messages that require operator intervention.

       The nnssrrwwaattcchh program will  run  continuously  until  quit,
       stopped, or interrupted (Control-Z or Control-C, for exam-
       ple).  Typing the qq character will quit the  program,  the
       Control-L  character will force a screen clear and redraw,
       while any other character will  force  the  status  to  be
       updated.

       The  nnssrrwwaattcchh  program  checks for new devices at a slower
       rate than the polling rate, so  it  might  take  up  to  a
       minute  after  a new device is added before it is noticed.
       Restarting the program, or typing Control-L,  will  notice
       the  new  device immediately.  Deleted devices may cause a
       ``resource does not exist'' message temporarily, but  oth-
       erwise they are noticed immediately.

       The  nnssrrwwaattcchh  program will adapt to changes in the screen
       size, if supported  by  the  underlying  environment.  For
       example,  if  a  window  terminal emulator is resized, the
       size of each field may change to match the window. If  the
       window  is too small, all the devices, sessions, messages,
       etc. might not be displayed.  For best results, use a win-
       dow of at least 30 lines.
