Hi I'm crossposting to some sys groups, once, to find out which systems
do _not_ have rpc.rstatd
I have written a public domain version of rpc.rstatd, which I will
gladly send to anyone who needs it. I will post it to alt.sources a
while later.
What is rstatd? From the man page:
rstatd, rpc.rstatd - kernel statistics server
rstatd is a server which returns performance statistics
obtained from the kernel. These statistics are graphically
displayed by perfmeter(1), xload, etc... The rstatd daemon is
normally invoked by inetd(8C).
Part of the program reads the kernel, and is therefore highly
system-dependent, so I would not expect my code to compile right away
on any other systems, without porting.
So...
1. Does your system have rstatd? (In /usr/etc or /etc, possibly
rpc.rstatd or rstatd.)
2. Does your system have the rpc library? (In /lib or/usr/lib,
possibly libsun.a, librpc.a, or in libc.a Try:
nm LIB | egrep 'xdr|clnt|svc'
where LIB is the library you are checking.
3. What is the manufacturer and name of your operating system and
computer?
4. Would you like to receive my sources to rpc.rstatd?
Followup-to e-mail.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
