NAME
statd, rpc.statd — network status monitor
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
[-l
log_file]
DESCRIPTION
statd
is an RPC server.
It interacts with
lockd
to provide crash and recovery functions for the locking services on NFS
(see
lockd(1M)).
A fixed port can be specified for
statd
by using the
STATD_PORT
variable in the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file, as shown:
The port number can have any value between 1 and 65535.
After adding the port variable to the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file,
statd
must be restarted for this to take effect.
This feature can be disabled by deleting or commenting out the
port variable from the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file and restarting
statd.
Options
statd
recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
- -l log_file
Log any errors to the named log file,
log_file.
Errors are not logged if the
-l
option is not specified.
Information logged to the file includes
date and time of the error, host name,
process id and name of the function generating the error,
and the error message.
WARNINGS
Changes in status of a site are detected
only upon startup of a new status monitor and lock daemon.
The
STATD_PORT
variable will still be supported in HP-UX 11i V3, but the 11i V3
configuration file will be
/etc/default/nfs
and not
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
