SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rpc.rstatd

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     rpc.rstatd is a server which returns performance  statistics
obtained from
     the  kernel.  Some of these statistics may be read using the
rup(1) command.
  The rpc.rstatd daemon  is  normally  invoked  by  inetd(8).  At startup,
  rpc.rstatd  performs  a  chroot(2)  to  /var/empty  and
switches to user
     nobody.

     rpc.rstatd    uses    an    RPC    protocol    defined    in
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.
