Networker 19.3

OS: Linux

 

I'm just wondering - what is this process (nsrdispd)?

When I run ps -ef, I see multiple instances of this process' offspring - about 18 nsrdispd_dd processes, two of which are more than a month old.

From the Admin guide, the definition given for nsrdispd is:  "Handles RPC-based calls for the nsrd process from remote third party processes".  Not sure what might constitute a remote third party process.

The reason I am curious about this is that on another Networker server (which is much less busy), the parent process (nsrdispd) exists, but there are no nsrdisp_dd child processes at all.  As far as I can tell, there is no noticeable performance impact - I'm just curious as to the difference where one Networker server has a bunch of these child processes, and the other has none.
