  NAME

    nfs - Starts and stops NFS

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/nfs [start|stop]

  DESCRIPTION

    The Network File System (NFS) starts automatically at system startup if
    /etc/nfs is linked to /etc/rc2.d/Sname (where name is installed as 05nfs
    by default).  Similarly, NFS stops automatically at system shutdown if
    /etc/nfs is linked to /etc/rc0.d/Kname (where name is installed as 66nfs
    by default).  See rc0(8) and rc2(8) for more information.

    The /etc/nfs command must be customized for a particular installation
    before it can be used.  The following items may need to be edited:

    $YPDOMAIN   The environment variable $YPDOMAIN must be set to the name of
                your Network Information Service (NIS) domain.  The ypinit
                command is generally used to initialize this variable.

    $PATH       The supplied path may require modification if commands run by
                /etc/nfs are in other directories.

    $PROCS      The $PROCS variable contains a space-separated list of names
                of processes to kill when executing the stop function.  If
                additional daemons are used, their names can be added to this
                list.

    Daemons     The standard NFS daemons are started at this point.  Any
                additional daemons or other commands may be included in this
                section.  Any of the standard daemons not needed can be
                removed or commented out.  By default, pcnfsd, ypserv, ypbind,
                and yppasswdd are disabled.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To start the NFS software, initializing standard daemons, enter:

        /etc/nfs start


    2.  To stop the NFS software, terminating NFS-related daemons, enter:

        /etc/nfs stop
