amq(8) manual page

-f
	Ask the automounter to flush the internal caches and reload all the maps.
-h hostname
	Specify 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.

-i
		Print information about the mount maps.

-l log_file

	Tell amd(8) to use log_file as the log file name. For security reasons, this must be the same log file which amd(8) used when started. This option is therefore only useful to refresh amd open file handle on the log file, so that it can be rotated and compressed via daily cron jobs.
-m
	Ask the automounter to provide a list of mounted file systems, including the number of references to each file system and any error which occurred while mounting.
-p
	Return the process ID of the remote or locally running amd(8). Useful when you need to send a signal to the local amd(8) process, and would rather not have to search through the process table. This option is used in the `ctl-amd` script.

-q
		Suppress error messages produced when attempting synchronous unmounts with the -u option.

-s
		Ask the automounter to provide system-wide mount statistics.
-u
	Ask the automounter to unmount the file systems named in directory instead of providing information about them. Unmounts are requested, not forced. They merely cause the mounted file system to timeout, which will be picked up by amd main scheduler thus causing the normal timeout action to be taken. If the -u option is repeated, amq will attempt to unmount the file system synchronously by waiting until the timeout action is taken and returning an error if the unmount fails. Any error messages produced may be suppressed with the -q option.

-v
		Ask the automounter for its version information. This is a subset of the information output by amd(8)'s -v option.
-w
	Translate a full pathname as returned by getcwd(3) into a short amd(8) pathname that goes through its mount points. This option requires that amd(8) is running.
-x log_options
	Ask the automounter to use the logging options specified in log_options from now on. Note that the "fatal" and "error" options cannot be turned off.
-D debug_options
	-D debug_options Ask the automounter to use the debugging options specified in debug_options from now on.
-H
	Display short usage message.
-P program_number
	Contact an alternate running amd(8) that had registered itself on a different RPC program_number and apply all other operations to that instance of the automounter. This is useful when you run multiple copies of amd(8), and need to manage each one separately. If not specified, amq will use the default program number for amd(8), 300019. For security reasons, the only alternate program numbers amd(8) can use range from 300019 to 300029, inclusive.
-T
	Contact amd(8) using the TCP transport only. Normally amq will try TCP, and if that failed, will try UDP.
-U
	Contact amd(8) using UDP (connectionless) transport only. Normally amq will try TCP, and if that failed, will try UDP.

“	A typical Unix /bin or /usr/bin directory contains a hundred different kinds of programs, written by dozens of egotistical programmers, each with its own syntax, operating paradigm, rules of use ... strategies for specifying options, and different sets of constraints.	”
