NAME

rfudaemon - Remote File Sharing daemon process

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rfs/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 unex-
pected events, such as broken network connections and forced
unmounts, and execute appropriate administrative procedures.
When  such  an event occurs, rfudaemon executes the adminis-
trative 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 rfuad-
        min 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.
