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, process

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.
