Scenario: Portmapper is NOT running. I type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/statd start" The command returns indicating success - green OK However statd has FAILED to start but falsely reported success
Do you mean /etc/rc.d/init/rstatd ? [root@gandalf /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/rstatd status rpc.rstatd is stopped [root@gandalf /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap status portmap (pid 19988) is running...
