# NAME

`rpc.rstatd`, `rstatd` —
kernel statistics server

# SYNOPSIS

`/usr/libexec/rpc.rstatd` | [interval]

# DESCRIPTION

`rpc.rstatd` is a server which returns performance statistics obtained from the kernel. These statistics are read using the rup(1) command. The `rpc.rstatd` daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

The interval argument specifies the number of seconds that `rpc.rstatd` should stay active, updating its internal statistics every second. If no value is specified, 20 seconds will be used. After interval seconds with no new RPC requests, if `rpc.rstatd` was invoked from inetd(8), `rpc.rstatd` exits. Otherwise, `rpc.rstatd` loops, becoming dormant until it receives a new RPC request, and staying active until interval seconds pass with no new requests.

`rpc.rstatd` uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.
