RPC.RSTATD(8)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to rpc.rstatd(8) — the kernel statistics server ✨ (also just known as rstatd, same girl different nickname 💅). she lives in the System Manager's Manual section of your Unix box and she is, lowkey, the reason you can peek at how your machine is doing 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rpc.rstatd

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she just is 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so rpc.rstatd is a server that hands back performance statistics it grabbed straight from the kernel 🧚 these stats are usually read using the rup(1) command, iykyk — that's the whole point of the girl's existence 💅

the rpc.rstatd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8) 🎀 so like, she's not out here launching herself, inetd is the one hyping her up and putting her on the roster fr fr.

rpc.rstatd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x ⭐ that's the sacred text, the blueprint, the whole vibe check 🌈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• rup(1) — the command that actually reads her stats 💜
• inetd(8) — the one who normally invokes her 👑
