  NAME

    rfudaemon - Runs the Remote File Sharing daemon

  SYNOPSIS

    rfudaemon

  DESCRIPTION

    The rfudaemon command is started automatically by rfstart and runs as a
    daemon process as long as Remote File Sharing (RFS) is active.  The
    function of rfudaemon is to listen for unexpected events, such as broken
    network connections and forced unmounts, and execute appropriate
    administrative procedures.

    When such an event occurs, rfudaemon executes the administrative shell
    script rfuadmin, with arguments that identify the event.  This command is
    not intended to be run from the shell.  Here are the events:

    DISCONNECT
           A link to a remote resource has been cut.  The rfudaemon command
           executes rfuadmin, with two arguments:  disconnect and the name of
           the disconnected resource.

    FUMOUNT
           A remote server machine has forced an unmount of a resource that a
           local machine has mounted.  The rfudaemon command executes
           rfuadmin, with two arguments:  fumount and the name of the
           disconnected resource.

    GETUMSG
           A remote user-level program has sent a message to the local
           rfudaemon.  Currently the only message sent is fuwarn, which
           notifies rfuadmin that a resource is about to be unmounted.  It
           sends rfuadmin the fuwarn, the resource name, and the number of
           seconds in which the forced unmount will occur.

    LASTUMSG
           The local machine wants to stop the rfudaemon (rfstop).  This
           causes rfudaemon to exit.

  EXAMPLES

    The following example starts rfudaemon:
