NFS(NADM)                                  UNIX System V



     Name
          /etc/nfs - NFS start/stop script


     Syntax
          /etc/nfs start
          /etc/nfs stop


     Description
          /etc/nfs is used to start or stop  the  NFS  software.   NFS
          will  start automatically at system startup time if /etc/nfs
          is linked to /etc/rc2.d/Sname (name is installed  as  72  by
          default).   Similarly, NFS will stop automatically at system
          shutdown time if  /etc/nfs  is  linked  to  /etc/rc0.d/Kname
          (name is installed as 66 by default).

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

          Domain name       The environment variable ``YPDOMAIN'' must
                            be  set  to  the name of your Yellow Pages
                            domain.

          The following items may need to be edited:

          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  that are not
                         desired may be removed or commented  out.  By
                         default, biod (see nfsd(NADM)), ypserv(NADM),
                         and yppasswdd(NADM) are disabled.

          A transport service for  NFS  may  have  to  be  initialized
          before  NFS  is  started. Conversely, the service have to be
          turned off after NFS is brought down.
