RFUADMIN(1M) (Remote File Sharing Utilities) RFUADMIN(1M)
NAME
rfuadmin - Remote File Sharing notification shell script
SYNOPSIS
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.

wall(1) in the User's Reference Manual.
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.
