bpclient command

when i tried to execute the command

 

bpclient -All -M <MASTER SERVER> -L | egrep "Client Name" | wc -l

 

 

on the master server with

 

SunOS 5.10 Generic_127111-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V215 machine

 

the output was 17.

 

Should this command show the total number of clients. The actual number of clients are 295. Is there anything that i have given it wrong in the command line.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks & regards,

Prab

    bpclient: List all client entries. Only the client entries that are added explicitly using the bpclient command appear. ( Means Clients that are listed in the Master server ->client attributes list !)

     

    bpplclient:  Produce a listing of clients.

     

    For getting list of clients u should use  bpplclient :)

    I use bpclient more for communication or network tests between client and master, to list the clients you only need bpplclients command
