Joe, thanks for help. You were right about me having, but not running
fam. So here goes the solution:
one need:
$ grep fam /etc/rpc
sgi_fam 391002 # file alteration monitor
$ grep fam /etc/inetd.conf
sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/fam fam
This is a suggested solution. But if you don't need nor like to run
inetd, one can run fam as daemon :
$ more /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fam.sh.sample
#!/bin/sh
if ! PREFIX=3D$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
start)
[ -x ${PREFIX}/bin/fam ] && ( ${PREFIX}/bin/fam & ) && echo -n ' fam'
;;
stop)
killall fam && echo -n ' fam'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
;;
esac
exit 0
It is also good to take a look at the /usr/local/etc/fam.conf and "man
fam".
BTW: FAM port for FreeBSD seems to install only the line into the
/etc/rpc, the entry in inetd.conf or the start up script you have to
make yourself.
