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

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).
