Hi Senthilkumar,

In linux all the startup scripts will be there in /etc/init.d whereas in HP-UX it will be in /sbin/init.d

For samba,
/sbin/init.d/samba stop
/sbin/init.d/samba start

There are three services available as for as NFS is concern

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop/start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop/start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop/start

You can stop and start whichever service you need.

If you just need to reread the configuration, modern versions of Samba check to see if smb.conf has changed and reread it by themselves.

If you're just changing NFS exports on the server side you don't need to restart anything, just run "exportfs -a" to reload /etc/exports.

To restart samba,

/sbin/init.d/samba stop
/sbin/init.d/samba start
