MON_FSSTATD(8)

🦋 MON_FSSTATD 🦋

okay bestie, so this is mon_fsstatd from the System Manager's Manual, section 8 — aka one of those admin-y daemon pages, but like… make it make sense, and it will 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

mon_fsstatd — literally the Filesystem Statistics Monitor. that's her. that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mon_fsstatd [-h] [-v] [-a] [-i <interval>]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so mon_fsstatd is a daemon (yes, a daemon, main character energy, running in the background living her life) that writes filesystem utilization data to the z/VM monitor stream. that's it, that's the job. she's collecting the stats and feeding them straight into the stream, no cap 🫶

---

🧚 OPTIONS 🧚

• -h, --help — prints the usage message and then dips. exit, done, bye 💨
• -v, --version — prints the Version info and exits. she's telling you who she is and then leaving, iconic ⭐
• -a, --attach — runs in the foreground. no hiding in the background for this one, she's right there with you 👀
• -i <interval>, --interval=<interval> — sets the polling interval in seconds. like, how often she checks in. you pick the number 🕐
