NAME
     rfudaemon - Remote File Sharing daemon process

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rfs/rfudaemon

DESCRIPTION
     The  rfudaemon   command   is   started   automatically   by
     rfstart(1M)  and  runs as a daemon process as long as Remote
     File Sharing is active.  Its function is to listen for unex-
     pected events, such as broken network connections and forced
     unmounts, and execute appropriate administrative procedures.
     When  such  an event occurs, rfudaemon executes the adminis-
     trative shell script rfuadmin, with arguments that  identify
     the  event.  This command is not intended to be run from the
     shell.  Here are the events:
     DISCONNECT
             A link to a remote resource has been cut.  rfudaemon
             executes  rfuadmin,  with two arguments:  disconnect
             and the name of the disconnected resource.
     FUMOUNT A remote server machine has forced an unmount  of  a
             resource  a  local  machine  has mounted.  rfudaemon
             executes rfuadmin, with two arguments:  fumount  and
             the name of the disconnected resource.
     GETUMSG A remote user-level program has sent  a  message  to
             the  local  rfudaemon.   Currently  the only message
             sent is  fuwarn,  which  notifies  rfuadmin  that  a
             resource  is about to be unmounted.  It sends rfuad-
             min the fuwarn, the resource name, and the number of
             seconds in which the forced unmount will occur.
     LASTUMSG
             The  local  machine  wants  to  stop  the  rfudaemon
             [rfstop(1M)].  This causes rfudaemon to exit.
