SYNOPSIS

The following option is available:

  Do not become a daemon. This option is only available when rpc.rwalld is not invoked by inetd(8).

Messages are sent to this server by the rwall(1) command. The rpc.rwalld daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

The rpc.rwalld utility uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rwall.x.

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.
