statd(NADM)

statd -- network status monitor

Syntax

/etc/statd [ -d debuglevel ]

Description

statd is an intermediate version of the status monitor. It interacts with lockd(NADM) to provide the crash and recovery functions for the locking services on NFS.

statd preserves crash/recovery state in the directory /etc/sm. The record file records the hostname of all currently monitored systems; the recover file records the hostnames of all systems that have as yet not been notified of the statd's failure; and the state file records the statd's current version number.

Options

-d debuglevel: statd has extensive internal reporting capabilities. A level of 2 will report significant events. A level of 4 will report internal state and all status monitor request traffic.

Limitations

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