RFUDAEMON(1M) (Remote File Sharing Utilities) RFUDAEMON(1M)
NAME
rfudaemon - Remote File Sharing daemon process
SYNOPSIS
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.
