NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     amq - automounter query tool

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     amq [-f] [-h hostname] [-m] [-s] [-u] [-v] [directory] ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     amq provides a simple way of determining the  current  state
of the amd(8)
     program.  Communication is by RPC.  Three modes of operation
are supported
 by the current protocol.  By  default  a  list  of  mount
points and automounted
  filesystems  is output.  An alternative host can be
specified using
 the -h option.

     If directory names are given, as  output  by  default,  then
per-filesystem
     information is displayed.

     The options are as follows:

     -f      Request automounter to flush the internal caches.

     -h hostname
             Query alternate host hostname.  By default the local
host is
             used.  In an  HP-UX  cluster,  the  root  server  is
queried by default,
  since  that is the system on which the automounter is normally
 run.

     -m      Request the automounter to provide a list of mounted
filesystems,
             including  the number of references to each filesystem and any error
 which occurred while mounting.

     -s      Request the automounter to provide system-wide mount
statistics.

     -u        Request  the  automounter  to  unmount  the  named
filesystems instead
             of providing information about them.   Unmounts  are
requested, not
             forced.  They merely cause the mounted filesystem to
timeout,
             which will be picked up by amd's main scheduler thus
causing the
             normal timeout action to be taken.

     -v       Request the automounter to provide version information.  This is
             a subset of the information provided by amd's -v option.
