NAME

  rpc.statd, statd - Network status monitor daemon


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/sbin/rpc.statd


DESCRIPTION

  The rpc.statd daemon monitors the status of the client and server sites in
  response to a request made by the local rpc.lockd daemon.  When a site
  failure is detected, the rpc.statd daemon notifies the local rpc.lockd
  daemon, which then processes the recovery of the locked files or file
  regions.


RESTRICTIONS

  The crash of a site is only detected on its recovery.


FILES

  /etc/sm    A directory created by the statd daemon.  Each file name in the
	     directory is the host name of a client or server that the statd
	     daemon will notify upon its recovery.

  /etc/sm.bak
	     A backup directory created by the statd daemon.

  /etc/state A file created by the statd daemon to store its state number.
