NAME¶
autofsd-probe - probe AutoFS mount/unmount daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/autofsd-probe [
-h host] [
-t
timeout]
DESCRIPTION¶
autofsd-probe will check the status of the
autofsd(1) daemon on
the specified
host.
Unless directed to another
host by the
-h option,
autofsd-probe will contact the
AutoFS daemon on the local host.
The
AutoFS file system is built on the Remote Procedure Call
(
RPC(3)) library routines. The
-t option allows the total
timeout and retry timeout intervals to be set for all remote procedure call
operations used with
autofsd-probe. This option accepts an interval
argument in the form described in the
PCPintro(1) manual page.
autofsd-probe is typically used in an automated fashion from within
pmdashping(1) and in conjunction with
pmie(1), for monitoring
response time and service failure.
By default
autofsd-probe will not produce any output, unless there is an
error in which case a diagnostic message will be displayed and the exit status
will indicate the reason for failure.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
If
autofsd-probe succeeds, then 0 will be returned. If the attempt to
establish a connection with
autofsd fails, then 2 is returned. If the
subsequent attempt to invoke an
autofsd response fails, then 1 will be
returned.
In the case of a syntactical command line error, 4 is returned and the usage
message is displayed.
PCP ENVIRONMENT¶
Environment variables with the prefix
PCP_ are used to parameterize the
file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
/etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
$PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
file, as described in
pcp.conf(5).
