lookupd is normally started by the /etc/rc file.  All lookupd configuration options are read from NetInfo.  See the on-line release notes for details. 

lookupd writes a file with its process ID number (pid file) in /etc/lookupd.pid.  Note that it is not possible to restart lookupd without rebooting the system.
