RPC/Linux

[Nobody's Hero]

Can someone tell me how I can be sure that rpc services is running or not. What daemons need to be started for rpc? How do I start and or stop it?

[Balaji N · Accepted solution]

ps -ef | grep rpc


rpc.statd and the portmap daeomons.


rpc.statd is being started by the nfslock on my box. portmap is started by init.

chkconfig --list nfslock
chkconfig --list portmap

--balaji(yawn!!!!)

Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d to see if r* processes are here (rstatd, rusersd, rwhod) and nfs service, which are all using rpc.
Then look at /etc/rc.d/rc0.d to rc5.d to see at which level these processes are started (S) or killed (K). Then you'll know what is started, not stopped, so running.

You could search also by chkconfig --list | grep r*, but you'll get a long list with false returns.

hope this helps.

Hello!

service nfslock status
service portmap status
will show the status of the deamons

Another way to check the status of the rpc services is:

# rpcinfo -p

Obviously can be localhost.

man page, as always, helps! :-)

Hello

to check if you have the 2 process present do

ps -ef | grep -i "rpc"

or do

/etc/init.d/nfslock status
/etc/init.d/portmap status

to start or stop process do logged in as root

/etc/init/d/nsflock start
/etc/init/d/portmap start

also valid are the stop, restart commands.

P.S. dont forget to give us point if you found some of theses reply's usefull, thanks

Oouups , please discart my comment about points after sending my reply I did a refresh
and this then did show me you already had given points.


It seem's that by the time I get a chance to help 12 hours have passed by, If I wanted to answer I would have to do it early morning +- 02:00 <-> 04:00 Belgium time.. I am an early bird but not that early.

But I am drifting, the lessons is learned always do a refresh check user profile and time of call before typping any things out of pace &.

once again please forgive.
