NAME

       rpc.rstatd — kernel statistics server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.rstatd [INTERFACE]...

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.rstatd  is  a  RPC daemon which collects performance statistics from kernel on serving machine.  This
       implementation for the Linux Operating System also returns the number of users logged in  on  the  remote
       machine if the information is available.

       It  also allows to specify which network interfaces to include in the packet count. If no interface names
       are specified packets from all interfaces besides the loopback interface are added up.

       The statistics are queried using rup(1) , perfmeter(1) , etc.  The rpc.rstatd daemon is normally  invoked
       by inetd(8).

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