NAME

6       autofsd-probe - probe AutoFS mount/unmount daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/autofsd-probe [-h host] [-t timeout]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       autofsd-probe  will  check  the  status of the autofsd(1) daemon on the
13       specified host.
14
15       Unless directed to another host by the -h  option,  autofsd-probe  will
16       contact the AutoFS daemon on the local host.
17
18       The  AutoFS  file system is built on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC(3))
19       library routines.  The -t option allows the  total  timeout  and  retry
20       timeout  intervals  to  be set for all remote procedure call operations
21       used with autofsd-probe.  This option accepts an interval  argument  in
22       the form described in the PCPintro(1) manual page.
23
24       autofsd-probe  is  typically  used  in an automated fashion from within
25       pmdashping(1) and in conjunction with pmie(1), for monitoring  response
26       time and service failure.
27
28       By  default  autofsd-probe will not produce any output, unless there is
29       an error in which case a diagnostic message will be displayed  and  the
30       exit status will indicate the reason for failure.
31

DIAGNOSTICS

33       If  autofsd-probe succeeds, then 0 will be returned.  If the attempt to
34       establish a connection with autofsd fails, then 2 is returned.  If  the
35       subsequent  attempt to invoke an autofsd response fails, then 1 will be
36       returned.
37
38       In the case of a syntactical command line error, 4 is returned and  the
39       usage message is displayed.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

42       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
43       file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation,  the  file
44       /etc/pcp.conf  contains  the  local  values  for  these variables.  The
45       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative  configuration
46       file, as described in pcp.conf(4).
