hi Siva,

Though it can be done, I do not know the reasons for doing so...

In the default setting..

runlevel -1
nfs core - stop
nfs client - stop
nis client/server - stop
nis+ client/server - stop

runlevel -2
nfs core - start
nfs client - start
nfs server - stop
nis client/server - start
nis+ client/server - start

runlevel -3
nfs server -start

Though it can be done by moving the links appropiately among /sbin/rc1.d ,/sbin/rc2.d and /sbin/rc3.d and changing the sequence numbers.. but not too sure,, there might be any other issues by doing so..

Please wait till the other experienced member respond to this query..

actually there was some missentance actually my question is nfs.server should start at run level 3 only whenever we enter into there and similarly should stop whenever we changing run level 3 to other (any)

Hi Siva,

That indeed is the default behaviour, anyway to cross check, can you give the output of the following commands,

ll /sbin/rc2.d
ll /sbin/rc3.d
