# NAME

`rpc.rstatd` — kernel statistics server

# SYNOPSIS

`rpc.rstatd` | [closedown]

# DESCRIPTION

`rpc.rstatd` is a server which returns performance statistics obtained from the kernel. Some of these statistics may be read using the rup(1) command. The `rpc.rstatd` daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8). At startup, `rpc.rstatd` performs a chroot(2) to /var/empty and switches to user _rstatd.

The options are as follows:

closedown
  Number of seconds before going dormant. Defaults to 20 seconds.

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