Displays the order number (ID number) of the Network Information Services (NIS) map currently in use on the server.
The yppoll command uses the ypserv daemon to display the order number of the map you specify in the MapName parameter. An order number is a map's ID number and is assigned by the system. This number changes whenever a map is updated. Use the yppoll command whenever you want to make sure your servers are using the most current version of a particular map.
