NAME
       automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon

SYNOPSIS
       name=value]

DESCRIPTION
       is  an  RPC  server that answers file system mount and unmount requests
       from the filesystem.  It uses local  files  or  name  service  maps  to
       locate  filesystems  to	be mounted.  These maps are described with the
       command (see automount(1M)).

       The daemon is automatically invoked if the variable is set to 1 in

   Options
       Trace.  Expand each
			 RPC call and display it to

       Verbose.	 Log status messages to

       Turn off browsing for all
			 mount points.	This option overrides the  map	option
			 on the local host.

       Force all mounts to the local host to be NFS mounts instead of
			 the  default  LOFS  mounts.   This  is	 necessary for
			 highly available NFS mounts.

       Assign		 value to the  indicated  map  substitution  variable.
			 These	assignments cannot be used to substitute vari‐
			 ables in the master map

   Tracing
       While is running, the signal can be sent to to turn tracing on. It logs
       messages in To turn tracing off, send the signal again.

RETURN VALUE
       returns:

	      0 successful

	      1 failure

EXAMPLES
       To turn on tracing, enter:

       or

       No messages are displayed by the trace.	Check the results in

WARNINGS
       Any  filesystems	 that  are  being  managed by should never be manually
       mounted or unmounted.  Even if the mount or unmount  operation  appears
       to  complete successfully, the resulting change of state to the managed
       filesystem can lead to disruptive or unpredictable  results,  including
       but not limited to: commands hanging or not returning expected results,
       and applications failing due to their  dependencies  on	those  mounted
       filesystems.  A reboot may be necessary to resolve these issues.
