rpcinfo:tldr:5076c
rpcinfo: Call a specific program on a remote computer using TCP.
$ rpcinfo /t ${computer_name} ${program_name}
try on your machine
The command "rpcinfo /t ${computer_name} ${program_name}" is used to gather information about the availability and status of a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program on a specific computer.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "rpcinfo" is the name of the command-line utility used to query RPC services and programs.
- "/t" is an option flag that specifies to perform a TCP-based RPC program query.
- "${computer_name}" is a placeholder for the name or IP address of the computer you want to query. You need to replace "${computer_name}" with the actual computer name for the command to work correctly.
- "${program_name}" is a placeholder for the name or number of the RPC program you want to retrieve information about. Similar to "${computer_name}", you need to replace "${program_name}" with the actual program name or number you are interested in.
When you run this command with actual values for "${computer_name}" and "${program_name}", it will make an RPC query to the specified computer and check for the availability and status of the specified RPC program. The result may include information such as the program's version number, port number, and status (e.g., whether it is running or not).

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
