showmount(8) System Manager's Manual showmount(8)NAME
showmount - Shows remote NFS compatible mounts on a host
SYNOPSIS
showmount [-adeT] [-t nnn] [host]
FLAGS
Lists all mount points in the form: hostname:dirpath. In this form, hostname is the name of a client that has remotely mounted a directory
from an NFS server, and dirpath is the directory that has been mounted. Lists only directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
Shows host's exports list. Specifies an infinite timeout. The default timeout value is 25 seconds. Specifies a timeout value, in sec-
onds. The default timeout value is 25 seconds.
The default value for host is the current hostname.
DESCRIPTION
The showmount command shows status information about the NFS server on host. By default, it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS
file systems mounted from the server host. See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A for a detailed
description of the protocol.
NOTES
The mountd daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. showmount will only dis-
play the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
The default timeout value of 25 seconds can be too brief to read and verify an export list. If you receive timeout messages when using the
showmount -e command, use either the -T or the -t options to increase the timeout value.
FILES
Specifies the command path Contains a table of local file systems mounted by remote NFS clients

showmount - show remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/showmount [-ade] [hostname]
DESCRIPTION
showmount lists the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem from host. This information is maintained by the mountd(1M) server on
host, and is saved across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab. The default value for host is the value returned by hostname(1).
The showmount command does not display the names of NFS Version 4 clients.
OPTIONS -a Print all remote mounts in the format:
hostname : directory
where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.
-d List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
-e Print the list of shared file systems.
FILES
/etc/rmtab

Hi there!
I'm a bit curious on something about Daemons....
Supose you have two processes say A and B, where B is a daemon.
A is totally independent from B.
Is there a way for A to find out B's return code?
Is there a way for A to find out when B ends?
Thanks! (4 Replies)
It is required to trap the signal send to a daemon process before rebooting a unix server. Suppose a script abc.ksh is running in the server as daemon. Before rebooting the server, the unix admin kills all the daemon processes. It is not known to me how admin kills the processes; I mean by which... (9 Replies)
