nfsdctl(1M)

nfsdctl - control parameters of IRIX NFS server

Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Added in IRIX 6.5.30.

NAME
     nfsdctl - control parameters of IRIX NFS server

SYNOPSIS
     nfsdctl -e [programs...]
     nfsdctl -d [programs...]
     nfsdctl -t <address>

DESCRIPTION
     nfsdctl is used to control various parameters of IRIX NFS server.

     With -e and -d options it controls the the way kernel NFS server
     processes RPC. On Irix kernel NFS server can process RPC for the
     following programs:  NFS(100003), NLM(100021), and XATTR(391063).

     Starting from Irix 6.5.25, on boot all programs are disabled. On startup
     nfsd enables NFS and XATTR, rpc.lockd enables NLM.

     nfsdctl can be used to disable and enable each program independently or
     all of them together: -e enables a program, -d disables it. If no program
     name or number is specified then all three programs are enabled or
     disabled depending on the option used. Any arguments except -e or -d are
     treated as if they are program names or program numbers and only the
     specified programs are enabled or disabled, state for the other programs
     is left unchanged.

     With -t option nfsdctl can disconnect TCP connections which terminate at
     the specified address. Address can be specified either as a symbolic name
     which could be resolved to an address or as a numerical address in dotted
     quads for IPv4 or colon-separated list for IPv6. This option is used with
     Failsafe to aid resource failover after an IP alias has been removed.

OPTIONS
     -e   enable program

     -d   disable program

     -t address
          disconnect TCP connections which terminate at the specified address.
