  NAME

    statd - Runs a network status monitor

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/statd [-d debuglevel]

  FLAGS

    -d debuglevel   The statd utility has extensive internal reporting
                    capabilities.  A debuglevel of 2 reports significant
                    events.  A debuglevel of 4 reports the internal state and
                    all status monitor request traffic (verbose mode).

  DESCRIPTION

    The statd utility is an intermediate version of the status monitor.  The
    utility interacts with lockd(8) to provide crash and recovery functions
    for the locking services on the Network File System (NFS).

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

  EXAMPLES

    To start statd in the normal manner, enter the following:

    /etc/statd


  FILES

    /etc/sm/record
    /etc/sm/recover
    /etc/sm/state    Each of these files are network status monitor files.

    etc/nfs          Startup script that executes statd during the system boot
                     sequence.

  NOTES

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

  DIAGNOSTICS

    statd: cannot contact local lockd on hostname status change,
    give up

           The lockd process on the remote system could not be reached.  The
           process may have terminated due to NFS shutdown, or perhaps network
           problems prevent successful communication.

    statd: cannot talk to statd at hostname
           The statd utility on the remote system could not be reached, for
           the same reasons as above.

  EXIT VALUES

    If an error occurs, the command exits with a 1.  If successful, the
    command exits with no valid value.
