## NAME
       snmpps - display process table on a network entity via SNMP

## SYNOPSIS
       **snmpps** [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cp] [-Ca] [-C n | m | t ] AGENT

       **snmptop** [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cp] [-Ca] [-C n | m | t ] AGENT

## DESCRIPTION
       **snmpps**  is  a networked version of a simple _ps_ command. It checks the processes on the remote
       machine by examining the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB's _hrSWRunTable_ and the _hrSWRunPerfTable_.

       AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented to monitor the given objects.  At
       its simplest, the AGENT specification will consist of a hostname or an IPv4 address.  In this
       situation, the command will attempt communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port  161
       of the given target host. See the [_snmpcmd(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/snmpcmd/1/markdown)_ manual page for a full list of the possible for‐
       mats for AGENT.

       **snmptop** emulates the _top_ command using SNMP. While running, the keyboard inputs of 'c',  'n',
       'm',  't'  switches  sorting  between cpu, pid, memory, or total runtime.  Typing 'i' toggles
       hiding idle processes, while 'o' toggles hiding Os processes.  Typing 'a' toggles display  of
       hrSWRunParameters, 'p' toggles display of hrSWRunPath.
