NAME

amq - automounter query tool

SYNOPSIS

amq [ -h hostname ] [ -f ] [ -m ] [ -s ] [ -u ] [ directory ] ...

DESCRIPTION

Amq provides a simple way of determining the current state of amd program. Communication is by RPC. Three modes of operation are supported by the current protocol. By default a list of mount points and auto-mounted filesystems is output. An alternative host can be specified using the -h option.

If directory names are given, as output by default, then per-filesystem information is displayed.

OPTIONS

The -h option specifies an alternate host to query. By default the local host is used. In an HP-UX cluster, the root server is queried by default, since that is the system on which the automounter is normally run.

The -f option asks the automounter to flush the internal mount map cache. The -m option asks the automounter to provide a list of mounted filesystems, including the number of references to each filesystem and any error which occured while mounting. The -s option asks the automounter to provide system-wide mount statistics.

The -u option asks the automounter to unmount the named filesystems instead of providing information about them. Unmounts are requested, not forced. They merely cause the mounted filesystem to timeout, which will be picked up by amd's main scheduler thus causing the normal timeout action to be taken.
