BUILDING & INSTALLING FAM
The standard way to build and install FAM is as follows:
./configure
make
make install
STARTING FAM
FAM uses RPC, and is usually started by a superserver such as inetd or xinetd.
To manually add FAM:
1. Add FAM to your portmapper
Add this line to /etc/rpc:
sgi_fam 391002 famd # File Alteration Monitor
2. Add FAM to your superserver
If you use inetd, add this line to /etc/inetd.conf
famd/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/famd famd
then tell inetd to reread its configuration file:
killall -HUP inetd
If you use xinetd, add a file similar to the following in /etc/xinetd.d/
--8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
# default: on
# description: File Alteration Monitor (FAM) daemon
service famd
{
type = RPC UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
user = root
group = nobody
server = /usr/local/sbin/famd
wait = yes
protocol = tcp
rpc_version = 2
rpc_number = 391002
}
--8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
If you do not want to use either, start FAM with the -T0 option:
/usr/local/sbin/famd -T 0
Naturally you will need to place this in your system's startup
file if you want it to be automatically started.
3. Ensure that FAM is registered with the portmapper
Run this and make sure that you get at least one line of output:
rpcinfo -p | grep fam
if you don't, you may need to restart your portmapper and (x)inetd.
