Starting the port mapper

I have a piece of code that uses Sun RPC calls. I noticed that the port mapper is not running by default when I tried to run this code on OS X. At the moment, I'm starting the port mapper from the command line with "sudo launchd /usr/sbin/portmap" and typing in my password.

I have a Cocoa frontend that I'm designing with the code for my RPC service running on a separate thread.

Is there a recommended way (Security.framework?) to start the port mapper in my application? Are there any consequences to starting the port mapper again if its already running? If so, what's the recommended way to programmatically find out if its running?

Thanks a bunch,
