The
.B rpc.statd
.B -F
parameter.
.TP
+.BI "\-n," "" " \-\-name " name
+specify a name for
+.B rpc.statd
+to use as the local hostname. By default,
+.BR rpc.statd
+will call
+.BR gethostname (2)
+to get the local hostname. Specifying
+a local hostname may be useful for machines with more than one
+interfaces.
+.TP
.BI "\-o," "" " \-\-outgoing\-port " port
specify a port for
.B rpc.statd
always or usually assigns. Specifying
a port may be useful when implementing a firewall.
.TP
+.BI "\-P," "" " \-\-state\-directory\-path " directory
+specify a directory in which to place statd state information.
+If this option is not specified the default of

+.B -N
+Causes statd to run in the notify-only mode. When started in this mode, the
+statd program will check its state directory, send notifications to any
+monitored nodes, and exit once the notifications have been sent. This mode is
+used to enable Highly Available NFS implementations (i.e. HA-NFS).
