NAME
  sm, sm.bak, state - Status monitor directories and file structures

SYNOPSIS
  /etc/sm, /etc/sm.bak, /etc/state

DESCRIPTION
  The directories /etc/sm and /etc/sm.bak are generated by the rpc.statd
  daemon.  Each entry in /etc/sm represents the name of the system to be
  monitored by the status monitor.  Upon its recovery, the status monitor
  moves all entries from the /etc/sm directory to the /etc/sm.bak directory
  and notifies the corresponding statd of its recovery.

  The /etc/state file is generated by the rpc.statd daemon to record its
  version number; that is, the number of times the rpc.statd daemon was
  invoked.  The version number is incremented each time the system crashes or
  recovers.  The system sends this state number to status monitors on remote
  systems when it notifies them of a crash or recovery.

RELATED INFORMATION
  Commands: rpc.statd(8), rpc.lockd(8)
