The daemon accepts requests from +programs running on the local host (typically, +.Xr rpc.lockd 8 , +the NFS file locking daemon) to monitor the status of specified +hosts. If a monitored host crashes and restarts, the remote daemon will +notify the local daemon, which in turn will notify the local program(s) +which requested the monitoring service. Conversely, if this host crashes +and restarts, when +.Nm +restarts, it will notify all of the hosts which were being monitored +at the time of the crash. +.Pp +Options and operands available for +.Nm +: +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl d +The +.Fl d +option causes debugging information to be written to syslog, recording +all RPC transactions to the daemon. These messages are logged with level +LOG_DEBUG and facility LOG_DAEMON. Error conditions are logged irrespective +of this option, using level LOG_ERR. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +daemon must NOT be invoked by +.Xr inetd 8 +because the protocol assumes that the daemon will run from system start time. +Instead, it should be configured in +.Xr rc.conf 5 +to run at system startup. +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /usr/include/rpcsvc/sm_inter.x -compact +.It Pa /var/db/statd.status +non-volatile record of currently monitored hosts. +.It Pa /usr/include/rpcsvc/sm_inter.x +RPC protocol specification used by local applications to register monitoring requests. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr syslog 3 , +.Xr rc.conf 5 , +.Xr rpc.lockd 8 +.Sh STANDARDS +The implementation is based on the specification in X/Open CAE Specification +C218, "Protocols for X/Open PC Interworking: XNFS, Issue 4", ISBN 1 872630 66 9 +.Sh HISTORY +A version of +.Nm +appeared in +.Tn SunOS 4 . +.Sh BUGS +There is no means for the daemon to tell when a monitored host has +disappeared permanently (e.g., catastrophic hardware failure), as opposed +to transient failure of the host or an intermediate router. At present, +it will retry notification attempts at frequent intervals for 10 minutes, +then hourly, and finally gives up after 24 hours. +.Pp +The protocol requires that symmetric monitor requests are made to both +the local and remote daemon in order to establish a monitored relationship. +This is convenient for the NFS locking protocol, but probably reduces the +usefulness of the monitoring system for other applications. +.Pp +The current implementation uses more than 1Kbyte per monitored host in +the status file (and also in VM). This may be inefficient for NFS servers +with large numbers of clients. |
