NAME
statd, rpc.statd - network status monitor
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
[-l log_file]
DESCRIPTION
statd is an RPC server. It interacts with
lockd to provide crash and recovery functions for the locking
services on NFS (see lockd(1M)).
A fixed port can be specified for
statd by using the STATD_PORT variable in the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file, as shown:
STATD_PORT =port_number
The port number can have any value between 1 and 65535. After adding the port variable to the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file,
statd must be restarted for this to take effect. This feature can
be disabled by deleting or commenting out the port variable from the
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
file and restarting statd.
Options
statd 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.
WARNINGS
Changes in status of a site are detected only upon startup of a new status monitor and lock daemon.
The
STATD_PORT variable will still be supported in HP-UX 11i V3, but the 11i V3 configuration file will be
/etc/default/nfs and not
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
