NAME

rpc.statd, statd − Network status monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/rpc.statd

DESCRIPTION

The rpc.statd daemon monitors the status of the client and server sites in response to a request made by the local rpc.lockd daemon.  When a site failure is detected, the rpc.statd daemon notifies the local rpc.lockd daemon, which then processes the recovery of the locked files or file regions. 

RESTRICTIONS

The crash of a site is only detected on its recovery. 

FILES

/etc/smA directory created by the statd daemon.  Each file name in the directory is the host name of a client or server that the statd daemon will notify upon its recovery. 

/etc/sm.bakA backup directory created by the statd daemon. 

/etc/stateA file created by the statd daemon to store its state number.
