NAME

nap, napping - Linux Napster Client

SYNTAX

nap <options>
napping

DESCRIPTION

Nap is a linux console napster client written by Kevin Sullivan and improved by Peter Selinger and others. The advantage of nap over other graphical clients like gnome-napster is that you can run it under screen(1) on a remote host and disconnect from your session while nap continues the downloads. You can later reconnect to your running client even from another host and do more commands.

Napping is a helper application required by nap to send and reveive ping packets. For napping to work it should be installed suid root.

For more information, please see the HTML documentation at http://nap.sourceforge.net/userguide.html.
