NAME
      rfuadmin - Remote File Sharing notification shell script

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

DESCRIPTION
      The rfuadmin administrative shell script responds to unexpected 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 rfudaemon 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 system.

              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 processing 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
              terminals:

              Remote_resource is being removed from the system in # seconds.

NOTES
      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 disconnected resources will not complete.
