What is /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd?

[johngiggs]

One of our HP-UX servers was scheduled to be rebooted at ~ 2:00 AM, however the server hung on it's way back up. I don't see anything abnormal in the syslog, so I'm not sure where else to look to see why the server hung. What is the /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd file used for? That file was written to around the time the server hung. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Hi

Check the /etc/rc.log which records the progress of the startup scripts to check for more info. Also because you had to do a further reboot to get the ssytem back, the captured information would now be in OLDsyslog.log. Also check root's mail for further clues.

Kind Regards
