krpckd

Morning All, (at least it's morning here in SA)

I have noticed this process running on some of my systems and not on others.

Can anyone tell me what this daemon is used for? - want to know if I can kill it and prevent it from starting up again.

TIA

David

Hi David,

sorry , I had not come across a daemon , what you mentioned.

but I can suggest you to refer the earlier query. In that one of the writers output I found that same.

plz get in touch , for the clear solution.

Since you don't know what it does and there is no man page for it, it is best to leave it alone.

I suppose you could grep /etc/inittab and /sbin/init.d/* for krpckd.

I couldn't find it. I did notice that its PPID is 0, so this is started by the kernel and not INIT.

Ditto Dennis.

From all the reading, I can only assume that it has something to do with NFS. I will kill it on one of my test systems and see what happens there.
