statmon(4)statmon(4)NAME
sm, sm.bak, state - Status monitor directories and file structures
SYNOPSIS
/etc/sm, /etc/sm.bak, /etc/state
DESCRIPTION
The directories /etc/sm and /etc/sm.bak are generated by the rpc.statd
daemon. Each entry in /etc/sm represents the name of the system to be
monitored by the status monitor. Upon its recovery, the status monitor
moves all entries from the /etc/sm directory to the /etc/sm.bak direc‐
tory and notifies the corresponding statd of its recovery.
The /etc/state file is generated by the rpc.statd daemon to record its
version number; that is, the number of times the rpc.statd daemon was
invoked. The version number is incremented each time the system
crashes or recovers. The system sends this state number to status mon‐
itors on remote systems when it notifies them of a crash or recovery.
