How do I start and stop the NFS service and/or server using the command prompt? How do I make sure NFS always stars automatically when system boots or restarts under RHEL based systems?
You can use the following commands under RHEL based systems
Start / Stop / Restart portmap Service under RHEL
Type the following commands:
# /etc/init.d/portmap start
# /etc/init.d/portmap stop
# /etc/init.d/portmap restart
Start / Stop / Restart NFS Service under RHEL / CentOS Linux
Type the following commands:
# /etc/init.d/nfs start
# /etc/init.d/nfs stop
# /etc/init.d/nfs restart
Automatically Start the NFS Server
To start the NFS service automatically at the boot time, enter:
# ntsysv
Select Portmap and NFS and save the changes. ntsysv command is a simple interface for configuring runlevel services which are also configurable through chkconfig command.

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)
