NAME
rstatd - kernel statistics server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd
[-l log_file ][-e-n
]
DESCRIPTION
rstatd is an RPC server that returns performance statistics obtained from the kernel. The
rup utility
prints this information (see rup(1)).
inetd invokes rstatd through /etc/inetd.conf
(see inetd (1M)).
Options
rstatd 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, the host name,
process ID and name of the function generating the error, and the error message.
Note that different services can share a single log file because enough information is
included to uniquely identify each error.
-e Exit after serving each RPC request. Using the -e option, the inetd security file
/var/adm/inetd.sec
can control access to RPC services.
-n Exit only if
•
portmap dies (see portmap (1M)),
• another
rpc.rstatd registers with portmap,or
•
rpc.rstatd becomes unregistered with portmap .
The
-n option is more efficient since a new process is not launched for each RPC
request. Note, this option is the default.
