NAME

sprayd - spray server

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd

[-l log_ﬁle ][-e-n

]

DESCRIPTION

sprayd is an RPC server that records the packets sent by

spray from another system (see spray(1M)).

inetd invokes sprayd through /etc/inetd.conf

(see inetd(1M)).

Options

sprayd 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, pro-

cess id and name of the function generating the error, and the error message. Note

that different services can share a single log ﬁle since enough information is

included to uniquely identify each error.

-e Exit after serving each RPC request. Using the -e option, the inetd security ﬁle

/var/adm/inetd.sec

can control access to RPC services.

-n Exit only if

•

portmap dies (see portmap (1M)),

• Another

rpc.sprayd registers with portmap,or

•

rpc.sprayd becomes unregistered with portmap.

The

-n option is more efﬁcient because a new process is not launched for each RPC request.

-n is the

default.
