     NAME
          statd - provide  crash  and  recovery  for  network  locking
          services

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/rpc.statd

     DESCRIPTION
          statd is a network status monitor daemon that is an inter-
          mediate version of the status monitor.  It interacts with
          lockd(1M) to provide the crash and recovery functions for
          the locking services on the network file system (NFS).

          /etc/statmon/current and /etc/statmon/backup are directories
          generated by statd.  Each entry in /etc/statmon/current
          represents the name of the machine to be monitored by the
          statd daemon.  Each entry in /etc/statmon/backup represents
          the name of the machine to be notified by the statd daemon
          upon its recovery.

          /etc/statmon/state is generated by statd to record its ver-
          sion number.   This version is incremented each time a crash
          or recovery takes place.
