How do you keep nfs.core to run,
when system reboots?

The startup script nfs.core is a link from the /sbin/rc2.d dir to the /sbin/init.d dir. Depending why you want to do this you may just want to take off the executable (permissions are set to 555) permissions from it.
Also do not forget that there is also and nfs.server script.

Do a search on the /etc/rc.log for nfs and you'll see the execution of the nfs.core script when the server boots.

If you want your NFS server and/or NFS client daemons to start automatically every time the system reboots you need to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf so that the NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER lines = 1. The one says to start those daemons when the system reboots.

Excerpt from /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf:

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1

I just want to turn off unnecessary processes for my box. Since we are not using nfs server & client, I turn those off plus I want to turn off nfs.core as well. This is what I am at now. Sounds like I have to change the script in /sbin/init.d.

Hi,

If you intend to run rpc.statd and rpc.locked, these two are loaded in /sbin/init.d/nfs.client and /sbin/init.d/nfs.server.

Under some circumstances, these two daemons of rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are needed, such as when you need to access PFS via pfsd and pfs_mountd.

rpcbind is loaded in nfs.core, nfs.server, nfs.client, nis.server, nis.client if it is not loaded during the period the script is being run. Applications that require remote procedure call would need rpcbind to be running.

Hope this helps. Regards.
