DESCRIPTION

     Amq provides a simple way of determining the current state of the amd(8)
     program.  Communication is by RPC.  Three modes of operation are sup-
     ported by the current protocol.  By default a list of mount points and
     auto-mounted file systems is output.  An alternative host can be speci-
     fied using the -h option.

     If directory names are given, as output by default, then per file system
     information is displayed.

OPTIONS

     -f      Request automounter to flush the internal caches.

     -h hostname
             Query alternate host hostname.  By default the local host is
             used.  In an HP-UX cluster, the root server is queried by
             default, since that is the system on which the automounter is
             normally run.

     -l log_file
             Tell amd to use log_file as the log file name.  For security rea-
             sons, this must be the same log file which amd used when started.
             This option is therefore only useful to refresh amd's open file
             handle on the log file, so that it can be rotated and compressed
             via daily cron jobs.

     -m      Request the automounter to provide a list of mounted file sys-
             tems, including the number of references to each file system and
             any error which occurred while mounting.

     -p      Return the process ID of the remote or locally running amd.  Use-
             ful when you need to send a signal to the local amd process, and
             would rather not have to search through the process table.  This
             option is used in the ctl-amd script.

     -s      Request the automounter to provide system-wide mount statistics.

     -u      Request the automounter to unmount the named file systems instead
             of providing information about them.  Unmounts are requested, not
             forced.  They merely cause the mounted file system to timeout,
             which will be picked up by amd's main scheduler thus causing the
             normal timeout action to be taken.

     -v      Request the automounter to provide version information.  This is
             a subset of the information provided by amd's -v option.

     -x log_options
             Ask the automounter to use the logging options specified in
             log_options from now on.
             multiple copies of amd, and need to manage each one separately.
             If not specified, amq will use the default program number for
             amd, 300019.  For security reasons, the only alternate program
             numbers amd can use range from 300019 to 300029, inclusive.

     -T      Contact amd using the TCP transport only.  Normally amq will try
             TCP, and if that fails, will try UDP.

     -U      Contact amd using UDP (connectionless) transport only.  Normally
             amq will try TCP, and if that fails, will try UDP.

CAVEATS

     Amq uses a Sun registered RPC program number (300019 decimal) which may
     not be in the /etc/rpc database.
