Hi,

kindly advice the below procedure stuable for hp-ux 11.11

To configure the rstatd daemon:
1 Run the command: su root
2 Go to /etc/inetd.conf and look for the rstatd row (it begins with the word
rstatd). If it is commented out (with a #), remove the comment directive,
and save the file.
3 From the command line, run:
kill -1 inet_pid
where inet_pid is the pid of the inetd process. This instructs the inetd to
rescan the /etc/inetd.conf file and register all daemons which are
uncommented, including the rstatd daemon.
4 Run rup again.
If the command still does not indicate that the rstatd daemon is configured,
contact your system administrator.


thanks

hi,

the above procedure is right. note that in inetd.conf the line that needs to be added/uncommented is the following:

rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd 100001 1-3 rpc.rstatd

(add it as a single line!)

instead of kill -1, you can signal inetd line this:

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c

this will make it to re-read its configuration

more info on that:

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Kindly find the below simple procedure.it is right
1. uncommented this line in inid.conf file.
rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd 100001 1-3 rpc.rstatd

2.reboot the server

After this procedure rstat star automatically are not

>After this procedure rstat star automatically are not

how do you know that? did you issue a rup command? that is the simplest way to find it out. if you did a ps -ef and didn't see rstatd in it, that is not a proof of rstatd issue. inetd will start this daemon on demand. so check it with rup and paste here the output:

# rup

Hi,

As Viktor said..

> inetd will start this daemon on demand

which is one advantage of having the inetd "super daemon". After an inetd service is spawned, it "leaves it alone" and is ready for another let's say ... telnet request.
