RPC.RSTATD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RPC.RSTATD(8)NAME
rpc.rstatd, rstatd — kernel statistics server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/rpc.rstatd [interval]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.rstatd is a server which returns performance statistics obtained from
the kernel. These statistics are read using the rup(1) command. The
rpc.rstatd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).
The interval argument specifies the number of seconds that rpc.rstatd
should stay active, updating its internal statistics every second. If no
value is specified, 20 seconds will be used. After interval seconds with
no new RPC requests, if rpc.rstatd was invoked from inetd(8), rpc.rstatd
exits. Otherwise, rpc.rstatd loops, becoming dormant until it receives a
new RPC request, and staying active until interval seconds pass with no
new requests.
rpc.rstatd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.
