Cannot start rstatd !

if i run ps -ef |grep rpc , rstatd is missed. I did kill hup rstatd. after that also i can't start rstatd. Why?

Not knowing what version of HPux you have, I'll direct you to the 11 docs for rpc.rstatd:

hi,

rpc.statd is a part of NFS daemons.
If you need to restart it do:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Be carefull messing with RPC services. If you can afford to, reboot your system to clear up and restart your RPC services. You may want to try shutting down and restarting NFS but your better off restarting your server. Are your other RPC services running?

Here are some of them...

/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/rpc.ypupdated
/usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd
/opt/dce/sbin/rpcd
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

Run rpcinfo -p to check out your RPC services.

I wonder if you can be able to see this running everytime. It is spawned by inetd upon the connection through rstat command.

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the line that has rpc.rstatd and restart inetd by inetd -c.

I think many of you are sadly mistaken. rpc.rstatd has nothing to do with NFS. Rpc.rstatd is an RPC server that returs performance statistics obtained from the kernel.

I have a question about it also: how to make rpc.rstatd startup using a specified port!
