rfudaemon(1M)         (Remote File Sharing Utilities)         rfudaemon(1M)


   NAME
         rfudaemon - Remote File Sharing daemon process

   SYNOPSIS
         /etc/rfs/rfudaemon

   DESCRIPTION
         The rfudaemon command is started automatically by rfstart(1M) and
         runs as a daemon process as long as Remote File Sharing is active.
         Its function 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.  rfudaemon 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 a
                 local machine has mounted.  rfudaemon 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(1M)].
                 This causes rfudaemon to exit.
