Starting and Stopping the nfs Daemons

There would be examples where it may be needed to stop the nfs and restart it later. This can be done through using the startup scripts which are executed at shutdown and boot time. nfs scripts are in /etc/rc.d/nfs.

Note: Within Solaris /etc/init.d/nfs.server. Is the service which gives the network file system services, for sharing and accessing the remote file system.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
