autofsd-probe(1)

NAME
     autofsd-probe - probe AutoFS mount/unmount daemon

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

DESCRIPTION
     autofsd-probe will check the status of the autofsd(1) daemon on the
     specified host.

     Unless directed to another host by the -h option, autofsd-probe will
     contact the AutoFS daemon on the local host.

     The AutoFS file system is built on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC(3))
     library routines.  The -t option allows the total timeout and retry
     timeout intervals to be set for all remote procedure call operations used
     with autofsd-probe.  This option accepts an interval argument in the form
     described in the PCPintro(1) manual page.

     autofsd-probe is typically used in an automated fashion from within
     pmdaespping(1) and in conjunction with pmie(1), for monitoring response
     time and service failure.

     By default autofsd-probe will not produce any output, unless there is an
     error in which case a diagnostic message will be displayed and the exit
     status will indicate the reason for failure.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If autofsd-probe succeeds, then 0 will be returned.  If the attempt to
     establish a connection with autofsd fails, then 2 is returned.  If the
     subsequent attempt to invoke an autofsd response fails, then 1 will be
     returned.

     In the case of a syntactical command line error, 4 is returned and the
     usage message is displayed.

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