NAME
     amtickerd - system uptime monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/amtickerd tickfile tickduration

DESCRIPTION
     amtickerd records system uptime in tickfile every tickduration seconds.
     This information is used to estimate uptime in the case of a system hang.
     amtickerd is enabled by the config flag tickerd (see amconfig(1M)).  The
     normal call made on reboot is

          amtickerd /var/adm/avail/lasttick 300

     If the config value statusinterval is not zero, amtickerd will send
     status reports every statusinterval days.
