The Start RPC Binder Daemon (RPCBIND) command starts the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) RPCBind daemon. The RPC binder daemon job must be running to use and run Network File System (NFS) daemons and commands and some of the TI-RPC APIs.

This command can also be issued using the following alternative command:

• STRNFSSVR SERVER(*RPC)

If the user attempts to start this daemon and it is already running, it will not cause the command to fail. The command will issue diagnostic message CPDA1BA if the daemon is already running.

To determine if the RPCBind daemon is running, use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command and look in the subsystem QSYSWRK for existence of the following job:

QNFSRPCD  The RPCBind daemon
