NAME
     rfuadmin - Remote File Sharing notification shell script

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rfs/rfuadmin message remote_resource [seconds]

DESCRIPTION
     The rfuadmin administrative shell script responds  to  unex-
     pected  Remote  File  Sharing events, such as broken network
     connections and forced unmounts, picked up by the  rfudaemon
     process.   This  command  is not intended to be run directly
     from the shell.  The response to messages received  by  rfu-
     daemon  can  be  tailored  to  suit the particular system by
     editing  the  rfuadmin  script.   The  following  paragraphs
     describe the arguments passed to rfuadmin and the responses.
     disconnect remote_resource
             A link to a remote resource has been cut.  rfudaemon
             executes rfuadmin, passing it the message disconnect
             and the name of the disconnected resource.  rfuadmin
             sends this message to all terminals using wall(1):

             Remote_resource has been disconnected from the  sys-
             tem.

             Then it executes fuser(1M)  to  kill  all  processes
             using    the   resource,   unmounts   the   resource
             [umount(1M)] to clean  up  the  kernel,  and  starts
             rmount to try to remount the resource.
     fumount remote_resource
             A remote server machine has forced an unmount  of  a
             resource  a local machine has mounted.  The process-
             ing is similar to processing for a disconnect.
     fuwarn remote_resource seconds
             This message notifies rfuadmin that  a  resource  is
             about  to be unmounted.  rfudaemon sends this script
             the fuwarn  message,  the  resource  name,  and  the
             number  of  seconds in which the forced unmount will
             occur.  rfuadmin sends this message  to  all  termi-
             nals:

             Remote_resource is being removed from the system  in
             # seconds.

BUGS
     The console must be on when Remote File Sharing is  running.
     If  it's  not,  rfuadmin will hang when it tries to write to
     the console (wall) and recovery from  disconected  resources
     will not complete.
