NAME

statd − network status monitor

SYNOPSIS

/etc/statd [ −d debuglevel ]

DESCRIPTION

The statd daemon is an intermediate version of the status monitor.  It interacts with lockd(1M) to provide the crash and recovery functions for the locking services on NFS. 

The statd daemon preserves crash/recovery state in the /etc/sm directory. The record file records the host name of all currently monitored systems, the recover file records the host name of all systems that have as yet not been notified of statd’s failure, and the state file records the statd’s current version number. 

The following option is available:

−d debuglevel
The statd daemon has extensive reporting internal reporting capabilities.  A level of 2 reports significant events.  A level of 4 reports internal state and all status monitor requests.
