rfudaemon(1M)                 UNIX System V(RFS)                  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.
