NAME
statd, rpc.statd - network status monitor
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
DESCRIPTION
statd is an RPC server. It interacts with
lockd to provide the crash and recovery functions for the
locking services on NFS (see lockd (1M)).
statd keeps track of the clients with processes which hold locks on a server. When the server reboots
after a crash, statd sends a message to the
statd on each client indicating that the server has
rebooted. The client
statd processes then informs the
lockd on the client that the server has rebooted.
The client
lockd then attempts to reclaim the lock(s) from the server.
statd on the client host also informs the
statd on the server(s) holding locks for the client when the
client has rebooted. In this case, the
statd
on the server informs its lockd that all locks held by the
rebooting client should be released, allowing other processes to lock those files.
Options
statd recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
-l log_file This is an obsolete option. All messages and errors are logged to
/var/nfs/rpc.statd.log
.
WARNINGS
The crash of a server is only detected upon its recovery.
