portmap mangement in HP-UX

[Giuseppe_13]

the portmap service is supported by rpcbind in HP-UX ?

Which file is the startup file for rpcbind ?

thanks

Hi Giuseppe,

That would be

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core

run it with a start parameter.

HTH,
Jeff

FYI: Any time you're wondering "What starts this?" a good way to being is to simply grep for it from /sbin/init.d/*

For rpcbind it will give you multiple files:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server
/sbin/init.d/nis.client
/sbin/init.d/nis.server
/sbin/init.d/nisplus.client
/sbin/init.d/nisplus.server

You'd have to look at these to determine which you're actually starting or which actually starts rpcbind. The prior poster gave you nfs.core but I wanted to point this out as most "startup" on HP-UX is done via /sbin/rc?.d/ files that are linked back to these /sbin/init.d files. It may save you time in the future.

Note: For Solaris and Linux the files are in /etc/init.d instead.
