Q. How do I start and stop NFS service from command prompt? How do I make sure NFS always stars automatically when system boots or restarts?
A. Make sure the portmap is running with the following command:
# /etc/init.d/portmap start
OR
# /etc/init.d/portmap restart
To start NFS Service type the command:
# /etc/init.d/nfs start
To restart NFS Service type the command:
# /etc/init.d/nfs restart
To STOP NFS Service type the command:
# /etc/init.d/nfs stop
To start NFS service automatically at boot time, use the following command:
# ntsysv
Select Portmap and NFS and save the changes.

what can cause a nfs service to stop or freeze
IF you’re using the package nfs-kernel-server you have to substitute nfs for nfs-kernel-server instead. So you’d type
# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop
instead
cheers
and for Portmap:-
sudo service portmap restart
(likely just a Debian thing)
