Hi. Does anyone knows what is the red carpet deamon? What is it functions?
Did you try Google? When no, why not? When yes, where did you stop understanding things?
BTW you should use “red carpet daemon” and not “red carpet deamon” when you search allthoug Google will understand your typo.
already google it. Thank you for your concern. Anyway, why need to keep updating this daemon? If this daemon not update, does it effect the system/service?

i wonder if you are running a supported version of openSUSE? or maybe a
SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) offering?
the gurus for the two hang out in different places…this is the
openSUSE place, the SLE place is at http://tinyurl.com/422mrnu
your ID/Pass here works there also…
you are welcome to ask SLE questions here, but you may get answers from
folks who don’t know there is a difference (which might lead to troubles
on your system)…

Caveat
openSUSE®, the “German Automobiles” of operating systems
I do not have this daemon. It is not in the standard repos. Having taken a very short glance at the pages Googled when I tried if you could have found something, it is a not realy related to openSUSE.
Do you mind explaining a bit about what your idea behind your very open and vague question is? What level of openSUSE do you run. Why do you run rcd and where did you get it. Etc, etc,
It is not we that undergo some examination, it is you wanting some help and you should make that as easy as possible for us.
Red Carpet is a software management tool for RPM-based Linux distros.
Red Carpet is a suite of applications that allows easy installation and update of software on Linux systems. Red Carpet project features both command-line and graphical GNOME interfaces.
These days Red Carpet is part of the Novell ZenWorks solution.

Then it is not installed in openSUSE, I suppose?

AFAIK nobody said it was installed somewhere. The OP asked what is is for. Maybe he found it somewhere on the Internet and thought it was a nice name 
In any case the OP did not explain very much. Then I stopped suggestinng things that may be very off topic and just wait for more information from the OP.

Red Carpet was a software install/update mechanism Novell got infected with when they bought Ximian (by that time the company of Miguel de Icaza and Nat Friedman. Mono based, it was a complete nightmare. It’s dead now, at least that’s what I hope.

I haven’t seen or used red carpet in a long time. Since maybe SuSE 10.x or something. Zypper replaced that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you could use it today. As mentioned above, it is part of Novell Zenworks, but the question would be why?

I understood you said that it was installed and included in some repo, but
not in 11.4.

Sorry being unclear.
In post #5 I tried to say that it is not installed (by default) and it either is in the standard repos.
In post #8 I qualified that with the fact that I checked the repos of 11.4.
But more important then my vague statements is that the OP tells what he has, wants or expects from us. Most here are now retrieving old memories if interprete the last few posts correct. This is all fine, but where is the OP (on the dark side of the world I suppose and sleeping over it ).

Sheesh, you couldn’t use it back then, so why now? 
Uwe
You could. I did. But then I liked experimenting with stuff. I’m not saying it’s a good idea now. Red carpet had it’s place, but in my opinion its in the history books now and should stay there.
Hi. Thanks for all the feedback. From the first info I post, this is the content of the /var/log message which the OS
of this directory is using the SUSE linux. And in the content, I found that it there was a frequent memory limit reached due to the rcd failed to update. That’s why my question, what is the rcd and what is used for. Did anyone know
how to disabled this rcd from keep trying to update?
Apparently you failed to detect from these answers the first and foremost question to you: What openSUSE level are you using?
